Check-in process was fairly easy. Massimiliano greeted us and showed us around the apartment. He will ask for passport or ID documents which also happened at our other Airbnb in Italy, so we believe it was standard. Easy to communicate with.
Massimiliano’s place was perfect for our stay in Rome. The beds are comfortable. There is some noise from the upstairs neighbors, but it did not bother us too much. We enjoyed being able to use the kitchen and laundry facilities. The apartment is clean and met our needs.
His two bedroom apartment is an easy walk to the Metro stop. Garbatella is away from the touristy area if you want a more local feel. There are local restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping in the area. At the same time, it is not far from the sites, it is only a 10 minute ride to the Colosseum. We also brought a rental car. (FYI for those renting cars watch out for ZTLs in Italy - we learned the hard way). Free street parking is nearby so it was not difficult to find a spot.
Overall, great value and would recommend!
