This is the most wonderful place and Airbnb experience we've had. There wasn't a self check in option. Instead there is someone receiving you at the time you scheduled with the host (very quick to respond) and they walked us through the apartment, helped with our bags and were very welcoming. The apartment is large and lovely and the location couldn't be better. Less than 10 minutes walking from the metro and the Vatican. It really was sublime to walk out and in less than 5 minutes you're already looking at San Pietro's Basílica and Castel Sant'Angello. Rome is a wonderful place and this apartment opens the doors to everything with ease and you're also looking forward to coming back to it to spend the night since it's so beautiful. We are a family of 4 and we were all in love with the place.
