After a failed Airbnb attempt a couple of years ago in New York (host cancelled at the last minute), I was hesitant to book another but an Airbnb seemed liked a good alternative to a hotel in Rome and after reading many of the reviews for Joey’s apartment, I felt confident enough to book. Communication in the lead up to our stay was great, and as promised, Joey met us at the front door when we arrived ready and willing to carry out 50+ kgs of luggage up to the 3rd floor! The apartment was excellent as displayed in the photos, and it was super clean (which is really important to me!). There were some lovely touches with a bottle of champagne ready and some biscuits. Joey gave us a map with lots of information about the surrounding attractions and also gave us some restaurant recommendations. The location was great, very close to the Trevi Fountain (best seen early in the morning before everyone wakes up!) and the Spanish Steps. There is also a bus stop for the Sightseeing buses not too far away and we walked to both the Colosseum and Vatican City, so if you’re not afraid of some exercise everything is pretty accessible. All in all, we were very happy with our stay in Joey’s apartment and whilst it was our first Airbnb experience, I can say without hesitation that Joey is a wonderful host.
