My sister and I brought my mom to Rome, Italy and our expectations of our first airbnb reservation with Laura and Herve were exceeded! They are excellent hosts. They communicated with me consistently to ensure that our stay in their appartment would be comfortable. This is why I would book with them again and recommens rhem to anyone visiting Rome.
1. Arranged pick up at the airport for an easy transfer. We paid less than what we would have paid for a cab and it was a needed service after a long flight.
2. The apartment was very clean. The bed sheets were washed and fresh. No hairs or dirt from other people. (A few months ago we stayed in a condo and the bedding had hairs of all colors, lengths, etc. Super gross) Definitely not the case here. I felt very cozy and comfortable sleeping on the bed and using the sheets.
3. Towels were provided on each bed with a nice heart shaped and wrapped chocolate.
4. The bedroom had 2 night stands, air conditioning, 2 big closets with hangers a dresser with maps and pamphlets of all the things one can do in Rome.
5. The bathroom was very clean with everything one would need to take a shower and with extra toilet paper.
6. The kitchen was equiped with everything one would need to prepare food. A stove top range, a microwave, table settings, paper towels, dish cloths, cookware, spices, tea, coffee, a small fridge and a big fridge with freezer. The fridges had water, 3 beers, milk and 2 juices for us to consume.
7. There was a dining room and living room. The dining room had a table with a table cloth and place mats. Seating for 4. There was another closet with some items we would need. Travel plugs (forgot name) , iron, etc.
8. The sofa bed was laid out and dressed so that we could use it as soon as we arrived. Very comfortable. Even better with the cable tv.
9. Wifi with password for us to use.
10. Safe and secure building
11. Location of the apartment is so convenient. Front: bus stop right outside gate. Also Vatican wall is right in front of the apartment. The Vatican Museum is 5 tob8 minute walk. There are cafes and restaurants nearby.
Back: bakery, grocery store, deli, tobacchi and metro only 4lt minute walj away. We easily visited must see sites using the metro from here.
12. Herve and Laura provided us with a clean and equiped home and we felt like it was our own. They are wonderful, superb hosts, and that made our stay in Rome comfortable and extra special.
We will be renting from them again when we return to Rome! Grazie Laura and Herve for everything!
