This was our first time using Airbnb and it was such a wonderful experience! I was organising our first year anniversary trip and wanted it to be perfect - I looked through so many listings but I believe this one was the best! Perfect in so many ways.

Miryam and Giovanna were very helpful in the run up to the visit, gave advice and kept excellent communication. Miryam waited for us at the apartment as we arrived in good time. We were warmly welcomed and shown everything in the apartment and even given a mobile to use during our stay! Everything was provided for us including some food, extra sheets, towels and toiletries and we were also given maps, guides and business cards for local restaurants they recommended. Miryam and Giovanna were so kind to give us tickets to an exhibition, as it was our anniversary. As my wife wanted to go to a hair salon, Miryam showed us the local area and took us to a place - my wife loved the results and wanted to go back!

The area, Sant'Angelo, as described, is one of the most authentic parts of Rome. It’s local shops, restaurants and bakeries are great – we had some incredible fresh bread at Antico Forno Urbani, which was a great place to get bread/cheese/ham. There’s also Pasticerria Boccione - definitely check it out. We found the location absolutely perfect – it’s very central, only a few mins from the Pantheon. We could get everywhere we wanted to by walking and only used transportation to get to places further out such as the MAXXI and Parco Della Musica.

The apartment was brilliant. The space was very well presented, nicely furnished and decorated – we love the original Eames chairs! The lighting in the apartment is great. It was so good to have AC as it was very warm in June. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom and shower super nice! Miryam and Giovanna asked if we’d like a cleaning service during the stay and the place was supplied with fresh towels, new bed sheets etc.

Our hosts were very kind and thoughtful and we had such a wonderful stay. Next time we come to Rome we will definitely stay there again – it’s certainly the best place!
