We were in Rome for 5 days in the month of June. We had booked Sonia's apartment which is in the Vatican area. Boy let me tell you the hospitality given by Sonia & Paolo was unparalleled and exquisite. Their house was great and excellent. It was just as they had described. Sonia had even booked a cab for us from the airport to the apartment. When we reached paolo was waiting for us at the apartment. The house is located in a quite locality with everything at a walking distance. The metro station was a 3 mins walks (rarely used it), and the bus station was right in front of the house gate (Used it extensively and very convenient). There were 2 bus routes which went by there and they were the best bus routes. Paolo explained all the routes to us so well that we felt we were locals of the city. Vatican is also at a walking distance, but we didn't walk it because of the heat and other issues (my moms age prevented it).
Paolo told us everything regarding the museums, the attractions, super markets etc. Super markets were just 200m away, so you could easily buy everything. Sonia was always there on whatsapp and call to assist her and was very prompt.
Coming to the house now. Easily and comfortably accommodated 4 adults. It has 2 bathrooms and a very functional kitchen. The apartment was as it was described in the pictures or maybe even better i would say. This was our first time using airbnb and i was a bit hesitant in using it. But i was surprised at the level of cleanliness, hospitality and convenience we had. The house has a lift and is in a quiet area of rome near the vatican. It is very accessible and a very safe locality. Well connected and serviced.
If i ever get a chance to visit rome again, id be happy to stay at Sonias place if i get a chance and if its available.
I highly recommend the place and Paolo & Sonia are excellent hosts. Btw they booked a taxi for us for our departure as well to Roma Termini station.
