We recently completed a visit to Rome where we stayed at Marzia's Campo de Fiori property. I've been to Rome in the past but have always stayed in hotels. I'm also relatively new to Airbnb so I didn't know what to expect. Well, I can honestly say this was by far our favorite accommodation in this 2+ week trip.
Marzia's Campo de Fiori property is absolutely central to everything. My family and I used a taxi to get there from the airport and to the train station when we left but otherwise walked everywhere. We hit all the sites but we're always close enough to sneak back to the apartment if we needed a break from the heat or just to rest up.
The apartment is located in a very nice and active square that features an open air market during the day and plenty of restaurants. Every day we would end the day with gelato for the kids. The gelatarias are plenty as well!
The apartment itself is incredibly spacious and clean. There is air conditioning, which is a nice touch given the warm summer days in Rome.
Finally, Marzia is a tremendous host. She arranged for a driver to meet us at the airport, who picked us up in a Mercedes and whisked us right to the apartment for the same rate as a taxi. She met us at the apartment and walked us through the apartment but also gave us fantastic recommendations about where to eat, what to see, and how best to get there.
We're planning to return to Italy and certainly look forward to staying at Marzia's property again if it's available. I highly recommend her place regardless if you're on your own, with friends, or with family. You'll love it.
