Staying at Sophie and Alessio’s AirBnb in Rome was a unique and wonderful experience for me. They are such kind and interesting people - and do everything they can to make your stay in Rome as pleasant and fulfilling as possible.
This sweet little apartment is also remarkably good value, set in an upscale neighbourhood of Rome, close to the beautiful public parkland surrounding Villa Borghese.
The personalized breakfasts which Sophie and Alessio bring to your door each morning are amazing. Exquisitely prepared and presented, they make waking up a joy.
Although the apartment is small, it is very well laid-out and makes the most of every inch. It is actually more spacious than it appears in the photographs. And I have never seen such a cleverly designed and functional little kitchenette!
Something else that really distinguishes this place is the extensive private terrace onto which the French doors open - a peaceful tropical garden where you can sit in the shade and enjoy your breakfast.
At first, I was worried about the old European style of shower - but, in fact, it works just fine once you get the hang of it.
Only two short flights of stairs, and luggage is easy - there is a lift!
