STAY HERE!
To anyone coming to Rome..... take my advice and stay at Vintage Place!
We cannot say enough good things about this whole experience.
First off, the apartment itself is gorgeous. The stylish touches and the design inside the apartment were amazing. If i ever settle down in one place, i will be sure to take a few ideas from Giorgia in my own home. We found an entire collection of movies and records which happened to be some of my personal favorites. Vintage cameras and furniture and little personal touches litter the apartment. If i could give the design 6 stars, i would have!!!
Secondly, from the moment we arrived we were greeted as family. Our flight into Rome was delayed by over 3 hours, and Giorgia stayed in the apartment until after midnight to greet us. Top notch hospitality. Co-host Rodolfo is fluent in english which was very helpful. And the communication between parties was amazing. Anything we needed all we had to do was ask. They even arranged a taxi for us to get from Rome FCO airport directly to their door. The service provided was again, top notch. And the price was quoted to the penny. We were given recommendations on restaurants and places to see, which did not disappoint.
Thirdly, the area itself is quite quaint. We didnt get to explore Monte Verde that much, but there is a gas station, a supermarket, a tabbaccheria, and a few local restaurants nearby, which make the area very convenient to stay in. There is a bus stop literally 50 yards from the door that services the 31 and 33 lines. Both of which will bring you within walking distance of Vatican city and other popular tourist destinations. We felt very safe inside the apartment as there as 3 separate locks to enter. One gate to enter the apartment courtyard, one to enter the building, and one to enter the unit itself.
Rodolfo and Giorgia were both very thorough explaining the local customs and the tourist tax. We were given copies of documents to review before we even arrived, translated perfectly into english so there could be no misunderstandings or surprises.
We would recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Rome, and will be sure to stay here again in the future should we make it back there ourselves!!
All Airbnb experiences should be so seamless and pleasant!
5 stars all around. Place, area, transportation, communication, and hosts!!!
