My son, daughter and I were on a three week holiday from New Zealand and stayed in many places visiting seven different countries.
Sveva's place was the loveliest by far.
She arranged a private car to meet us at the airport (for 45 Euro) which was cheaper than taking the train for the three of us and whisked us to the penthouse on a rainy night.
We were met at the front of the building by Sveva and her partner Fabio and guided us upstairs to the apartment.
This was Sveva's parents home and it is absolutely gorgeous and beuatifully maintained.
Probably built in the 1960's with a beautiful wood interior, book shelves, a private patio, it would be like going to your parent's house in Rome for a visit.
Old world charm you do not normally see in an Air BnB rental.
The kitchen is extremely functional and Sveva had stocked it with butter, pasta, milk, soft drinks, and there was a lovely bottle of Chardonay and a Pantaone Cake upon our arrival which was a big hit with the kids.
She had lots of great local restaurants to recommend with Joseph's being our favorites. The metro is essentially out the front door to all of the "must see" destinations in Rome.
I have stayed in a lot of places and this is clearly one of the best!
