Our group of 7 (including 2 kids) stayed in this apartment for four nights in Rome. The house is exactly as in the pictures - new, clean, tidy and very spacious. We were a large group but fit quite comfortably: 3 showers and 2 washrooms certainly made it convenient for our large group. There is a Macdonalds about 15 minutes walk from the house, and also a metro station. There are also some supermarkets in the neighborhood (but they close at 8.30pm so plan carefully). The Basilica San Paulo is also quite close and is truly magnificent - a definite must see for art lovers.

The host also put two comprehensive books on what to see in Rome, how to make your way around, precautions (pick pockets and mugging) etc. They also put a stock of useful maps of the city.

Our luggage was misplaced by the airline and we were therefore late to get to the house. Nevertheless Federico's parents were waiting for us to give us the keys and take us around the apartment. Romana was also available on phone to assist with any request.

I would definitely stay in this apartment again (and I am a frequent airbnb user). Location - convenient. Apartment facilities - excellent and very family friendly. Cleanliness - excellent. Host - courteous and inviting

The only thing I would do differently is organize my own airport transfer. The driver who was arranged to pick us from the airport was inpatient - understandably because we stayed at the airport later than planned because of misplaced luggage (and I was travelling with my elderly parents and two children). In addition our fare was increased because of the delay at the airport - not a problem for me, but the driver refused to give me a receipt for the entire amount, even after it was explained that I needed the receipt to make a claim with the airline.
