Hands down the best Airbnb experience we’ve had. Fabio & Emanuela are ideal hosts, making us feel welcome and comfortable in an apartment designed perfectly for a home-away-from-home feeling. If you are torn between a few choices, a highly recommend choosing this one. Exceeded our expectations by far.
The location for the apartment is central to all the main attractions. The furthest distance was for the Vatican (about 2 miles away). For being in the city, the location was impressively quiet even at night.
The layout of the apartment is perfect for two couples, with a mirrored layout for bedroom/bathroom. The water pressure and temperature was amazing for the shower. The beds and pillows were extremely comfy and the air conditioners worked very well - perfect sleeping conditions.
Fabio arranged a driver to pick us up from our cruise. Nicola arrived earlier than scheduled (which worked out perfectly) for a pleasant drive from Civitavecchia to the apartment.
We were met by Giulia, at the apartment. She showed us the accommodations and helped set up arrangements for our travels back to the airport. Giulia was extremely warm and friendly, explaining all the details needed for our stay and providing logistics for getting around along with fantastic restaurant recommendations.
Added touches that made us feel welcome and at home:
The kitchen was stocked with complimentary espresso, coffee, teas, assorted sweeteners, milk, juice, biscotti, jams, and last but not least a bottle of Prosecco.
In each bedroom & bathroom we had sets of towels, slippers, shampoo/conditioner, body wash, high-end hairdryers and a delicious Italian candy for each of us.
On our first morning, I accidentally blew a circuit trying to use a US voltage hair appliance. Directions to fix this were in the handy guest binder, however, we misread the instructions and could not figure out how to turn back on. I sent Giulia a message and she responded immediately to help resolve. Fabio was able to come by and fix it quickly. Both he and Giulia could not have been nicer about this mishap.
We will definitely try to book this Airbnb again next time we are in Rome. Thank you, Emanuela and Fabio for a wonderful experience in your beautiful city.
Grazie Mille. Ciao!
Angela, Ben, John & Kathy
