Marco and Antonietta far exceeded every expectation! Upon booking I was given an extensive list of options for transportation to their location including the price of each. Marco was very clear, timely and kind in communicating from the beginning to end.
Once I arrived (a quick 12 minute walk from Rome Termini) I was immediately greeted with a warm welcome and a cup of coffee. As far as their hospitality and the space itself, WOW! So great. Marco (Antonietta's son hosted, Antonietta was in Barcelona) took his time with explaining how to get to and from the different parts of Rome, drawing out routes for me on a map. He was even concerned for my safety explaining which part of town to avoid walking through alone late at night, as I was traveling alone. In the room they provide many books about culture/traveling in Rome. They provide a detailed binder full of suggestions for local restaurants and attractions to go to. When I said expectations were exceeded I meant it! They even helped me set an appointment for a haircut with their local hairstylist. All I had to do was show up! AMAZING!
The room is gorgeous, given Marco himself is the architect and engineer who designed and renovated the apartment to its present glory. There's a small fridge with prossecco, water, and plenty of Nespresso and tea to get you through your stay. The bathroom has full amenities and slippers to keep your feet warm too! The host is attentive and kind while also allowing for just the right amount of privacy. Every need was met! If you are considering staying with them also look into the other room the offer. It's stunning, with a hand tiled mosaic shower in the loft above the bed.
