Mauro's beautiful Airbnb exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, it was everything we wanted in a home away from home. Mauro's colleague, Efron, greeted us warmly to this beautiful, spotlessly clean apartment. Later in the evening, Efron saw us at a cafe and came to say hello and to see if we were settled in comfortably. What a class act!
There was fresh fruit and cold beverages left for us and the kitchen had every amenity that we needed. Everything was spotlessly clean!
The bedrooms were spacious and the beds comfortable. The windows open onto a cobblestone street with a lovely little bistro a few doors down. It did get a bit busy in the evening but I purposely slept with my window open because I loved the sound of the Italian chatter and people coming and going. If one was not interested in this sound, the windows can be closed and he air conditioning works very well!
There is a even a great terrace off the kitchen onto an inner courtyard, where we had our morning espresso.
The location is fantastic! Ten minutes stroll from the Vatican, five minutes from a lively street of outdoor cafés and little shops, tiny grocery stores to buy fresh fruit and biscuits, and yet down a little cobblestone street that is quite private. Just steps away is a cafe where they make the best espresso, delicious sandwiches, and amazing pastries . The Metro stop is an easy walk and the subway is very simple to use, so all of Rome is easily accessible.
This is an amazing little gem and one that I will most definitely return to!
Many thanks, Mauro and Efron.
