Vanessa's place was great, highly recommended. I've always been hesitant to select a shared apartment and this was the first time I tried it out, and I was not disappointed. What's great about Vanessa's place is that even though its shared, you get your own bathroom and a large bedroom in a separate corner of the apartment.
The quality of the place was great for the price. This was definitely the cleanest AirBnB I've ever stayed at - both bathroom and bedroom were exceptionally clean. Vanessa was a great host - she let us drop our bags off early and made sure to leave bottled water and breakfast snacks in our room as she knew we had an early morning flight. Very thoughtful touch! The apartment is a 5 minute walk from Termini station, making it perfect for early morning departures via train or from the airport (there is a direct train and bus from Termini to the airport). The only drawback of the location/apartment is the surrounding area. As others have mentioned, the area is very run down with graffiti and there are some areas that overwhelmingly smell of urine. I didnt see any suspicious activity or homeless when I was outside, however, I would probably not feel safe walking around here at night had I been traveling alone. While the location is out of Vanessa's control, this is just something to keep in mind if you are a woman traveling alone. If you have company, then it shouldnt be an issue.
All in all we had a great stay at Vanessa's place and I would highly recommend it. She was a great host, thanks for the stay Vanessa!
