Communication with Daria was very easy and she responded rapidly to all of our questions throughout the booking process. She also booked cars to and from airports (a very good idea) and was available throughout our stay in case that we needed her. She was very friendly and approachable and totally reliable.
The apartment was exactly as described and in some ways even better than we expected. It is so quiet and peaceful and yet right in the heart of Rome. We loved the feeling of living in a real home rather than in an anonymous hotel or apartment. The artwork and the books really enriched our stay. Being the penthouse apartment meant that we were felt not at all overlooked. The bed was very comfortable and the new bathroom clean and spacious for a city apartment - it is a luxury to have a bath! There was lots of hot water.
Daria gave us lots of information on the area including local supermarkets. She also gave us a fabulous list of restaurants and cafes which really helped us to avoid tourist traps and we had some lovely experiences!
This was the first time that we had used airbnb and we were unsure at first Our experience with Daria was totally reassuring. Right from the start she was responsive and reliable.
The apartment is lovely and apart from the art we really enjoyed the terrace with its plants.
We had only three full days but there was so much to do. We felt we had just begun to scrape the surface of this amazing city. We hope to come back and would return to this apartment and unhesitatingly recommend it.
