This was my first airbnb experience and it was flawless. Roberto our host was friendly and efficient, the accommodation was thoroughly agreeable, and the location simply stellar.
Roberto was there to greet us exactly at the agreed time, he gave us a comprehensive runthrough of all the facilities, and a useful introduction to the neighbourhood.
The apartment itself was very spacious for a place at the heart of a European city. It is located on the first floor of a stately old building that seems well maintained. There is a working vintage elevator, but hardly any reason to use it. The place was attractively appointed, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. All the amenities were fully functional and in excellent condition. And Roberto keeps all the essentials in stock - coffee, salt & pepper, olive oil, laundry detergent, towels, shampoo, toilet paper, etc.
The neighbourhood is just wonderful. There are bars, restaurants, cafes, shops and markets aplenty. It's a very lively area but feels entirely safe. The metro station is literally round the corner, and the St. Peter's and the Vatican museums are an easy stroll. In fact, virtually all of historic Rome seems like it's walking distance from here. We took the metro to the Colosseum but got back on foot most enjoyably.
If I were to nitpick, I can only think of two very minor niggles. First is the Wi-Fi signal - it's strong and fast near the access point, but tends to fade in the rear bedroom and kitchen area. The second is that there is a bit of street noise even at the wee hours - seems like Rome never sleeps!
But honestly, neither of these things bothered me in the least. I would recommend WikiRome Vatican without the slightest hesitation. In fact, I'm keen to return there myself. Thank you Roberto!
