Quick review: AirBNB price for a hotel-quality stay with a more local feel (A big plus for us).
Long review: What a great place!! Located on the Piazza Vittorio Emmanuele II, this property is a 2-minute walk from the metro (very easy to use) and a 10 minute walk to the Colosseum and Domus Aureus Park. Our check-in host, Philippe (apologies if I've spelled it wrong!), was amazing- he asked what we wanted to see and then solved all our transportation concerns in an instant! He added in a few other suggestions which were great, and his local restaurant recommendations were spot-on for both price and quality (La Cuccuma all the way!). He pointed out the local supermarkets in the area, which saved a lot of cash on things like bottled water, fresh fruit, and packed lunches if needed.
Amenities: Wifi was flawless; air-conditioning was great, and the temperature can be controlled from the room; fresh towels and soaps, linens, biscuits and coffee/tea (all complimentary). Room was always extremely clean.
A small caveat: The building's entry lock is a bit tricky, but just push on the door and be gentle with the key. And remember it's the landlord's fault, not your host's. This did not detract from this host's A+ rating for us. What a lovely stay in Rome!
