I cannot imagine a more perfect home for us in Rome than Antonella's apartment. It is even more beautiful that it appears in the photos. It is an interior space (does not face the street), with windows facing a small shared courtyard, but Antonella's brilliant decorating makes it feel light, airy, and spacious (I told my daughter to take decorating notes for her first apartment). And the location means that it is very quiet--no street noise at all. Both the master bed and pullout bed were very comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped and completely functional. Antonella stocked some basics, so we could have prepared a meal right away if we had needed to.
What was most amazing though was Antonella herself. Before our trip, she sent very useful information on enjoying Rome, excellent directions, and advice for traveling from the train station via public transportation. She was easy to communicate with and always available. When we arrived, she provided written information on everything you might need, including restaurant recommendations, medical services in the area (you never know!), and public transportation info. She went over our options with us for getting to the airport at the end of our stay and then booked an early-morning cab for us. Honesty, she should conduct classes for AirBnB hosts.
The location of the apartment was great too--you can walk to everything from there, but it is removed enough to be out of the hustle and bustle. There are many little cafes on the street, right out the door. And one of our favorite sites in Rome was the Basilica of San Clemente, right down the street. The archeological site beneath goes down two levels to reveal excavations of a church and pagan temple. Many people were there with tours, but we found the signage and brouchere to provide enough information.
If we are back in Rome, we would absolutely stay here again, and we recommend Antonella's beautiful apartment without hesitation.
