Carlo was very nice and reached out frequently to check in on us. He also had an apartment next door so he was very close if we ever needed anything.
We arrived around 10:30am and were able to store our bags in the apartment while it was being prepared. The apartment wasn’t ready until close to 2pm so I’d recommend arriving late morning or afternoon especially if there was a prior booking that just checked out that day.
Great location near Prati and Borgo. Very close to Castle St. Angelo and easy walk to the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s Square. Piazza Navona, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Trastevere and Campo de Fiori are also very close by within a 15-20 minute walk. Several nice squares, shopping and many great restaurants are also nearby. Overall the area seemed more Roman with less tourist and more authentically Italian especially if you walk 5-10 mins away from the St. Peter’s area.
The apartment was mostly as described and as pictured. Overall it was much larger than expected and very comfortable for our group of 4. There is also a small elevator which came in handy. Note that the air conditioning is only in the 2 bedrooms via wall units.
Also, the beds were listed as King size on AirBnB but seemed more like a full or queen. Must be European sizing but definitely smaller than the typical American King bed.
Overall we had a great time. We did experience some issues with the WiFi. There was an outage that knocked out internet service for 3 days and even when it was working the WiFi speed and coverage in certain areas of the apartment was very limited. I believe the WiFi was being shared from the host’s apartment next door so If your just occasionally checking e-mail or causally browsing the internet it should be fine but if you need super-fast WiFi for work I would recommend having a backup option such as a hotspot or data plan.
