We had a terrible experience with a last minute cancellation of our reservation by another host at Via dei Baullari the day before our arrival and were scrambling to find alternative accommodations. Now we think it was actually a blessing in disguise because Bettina and Maurizio’s apartment was so fantastic (and cheaper!) compared to the place we chose earlier.
My mother was absolutely delighted to be staying right in campo de fiori and to have access to the charming market place every day. One night we simply opened the windows and enjoyed our wine to the music playing outside. The apartment checked all the boxes in terms of location, cleanliness, amenities.
What was most outstanding to us was the hospitality Bettina displayed. A taxi driver tried to con us by telling us that there is a fixed rate of 25 Euro to get to campo from termini (it should only cost around 15 euros!) luckily I texted Bettina to ask and she immediately came down to meet us. She only needed to stare daggers at him and he didn’t dare say a word after that! On top of that she was also so kind to help us with the luggage as my mother has problems with her back and couldn’t carry them up to the 2nd floor. I can say with certainty this is my best experience with any host so far out of all the years I’ve used Airbnb.
We highly recommended their apartment and look forward to coming back to stay here again when we return to Rome!
