I highly recommend this place for your time in Rome
1. Host
Andrea is the perfect host. He communicated very well both before and during our stay. The apartment is on a side street and easy to find with the directions he provides. Printing them out and bringing them with you work out great. You can just give it to a taxi driver if need be
Andrea also worked with us and we had a cabinet to store our belongings in. We came from the US and landed in the morning. It was great. The cabinet can also be used if you have to check out early, but have a later train or plane.
Andrea was available to answer all questions. My camera was left in a taxi. He went above and beyond helping with numbers to call and making sure that we covered all bases. It was so kind.
2. Location
This location was exceptional. The apartment on the same block as the coliseum. It's incredible. On top of that, there is a taxi stand around the block, the metro is a 5 min walk (only due to July tourists, lights and walking a little slower marveling at the coliseum)
There are a series of restaurants from sit down to bars to take out panini places. All delicious and well priced compared to some of the other tourist locations
There are 2 grocery stores if you want to get basics and save a lot more money
3. Apartment
The apartment is as pictured, but probably roomier than it appears. The bathroom is very nice and there is a nice hair dryer in the closet in the bedroom. Ladies it's a stall shower for shaving legs ;-)
The kitchen is well appointed and the water is drinkable. With Rome being so hot, it was great to refill bottles of water, make ice and keep cold water on hand.
The bedroom and main room are very nice and bigger than pictured. Both the bed and the pull out bed are very comfortable.
The wireless works great, the building is quiet, and it's super secure. The air conditioner is fantastic especially if you're going to be there in July like we were.
I have nothing but great things to say about this place. My biggest hang up with Air BNB's in general is that if you get in early or need to check out but have a late flight or train, you are stuck somewhere with luggage. This location solves that issue with the self serve cupboards for 5 Euros.
