Me and my family of 6 (my wife and I and four children, ages 5yo to 13yo) decided to spend a night in Rome prior to our departure from Italy and we found Riccardo & Maria Luisa's place on Airbnb. Because of our 24hr stay, we wanted something close to the action and we were happy we chose their place!
The apartment was immaculate, recently redone, and very secure. It is a walkable distance (30-45 mins) to the Vatican, and there is a bus line right outside which takes you to the local metro hub. It is in a nice neighborhood and we felt very safe.
Another huge plus (in addition to the great hospitality of Riccardo) was the parking spot and locked garage we were able to keep our rental car in. Though it was a small garage, it was able to fit our 7 seat Ford Galaxie rental, about the size of a mini-van (rather big by Italian standards).
The kitchen was stocked with basics, including an espresso machine with a supply of espresso pods (very thankful for these!). Riccardo was quite accomodating and we delayed checkout till around 2:30pm and he allowed us to keep the car in the safe garage, along with our large load of bags for the airplane. The airport (Fiumicino) was around 30-45 minutes away with traffic.
We were very, very happy with our stay and Riccardo & Maria Luisa were a joy to deal with. Check-in and Check-out were seamless. Thanks so much!! We will be back if in Rome again!
