Fantastic experience with Federico, perfect location, and wonderful well kept apartment. Our experience with Federico and his apartment was absolutely perfect in all aspects. Federico really took a personal interest to ensure our stay in Rome was comfortable, and far exceeded my expectations by providing a complementary bowl full of snacks, a full loaf of bread, a cake and some beverages for our arrival. He also provided a tourist map and a three page document of his personal recommendations on how we could maximize our time in Rome. Based on the other comments in his guest book, this seems to be his standard way of welcoming guests to his home and city. He even checked with us the following day to make sure we didn’t have any questions.
The apartment was also fantastic. We wished we could have stayed longer because it was such a nice place. We felt like we were staying at a very good friends home. I absolutely would stay here again and highly recommend Federico and his Rione Ponte House to friends family and all other travelers looking to spend time in Rome.
I try not to compare Airbnb’s as each one has its own personality and style, but this apartment was 100 times nicer than any other comparable priced place I have stayed at in Europe. Honestly the pictures just don’t do justice for how nice this place is. About the only slightly negative item I can think of is that the unit is on the third floor, however Federico even carried our luggage up the stairs at arrival. Communication with Federico was excellent and the location was just perfect for being a short walking distance to all the popular sites, and there is a taxi stand is just up the street.
