The Joyful Guesthouse is easily the best Airbnb I've ever stayed at! From the very beginning, Ilaria was such a warm and friendly host. She asked us what we would be seeing in Rome, and gave us a map and very simple guided directions on how to get there from her house. She also gave us a tutorial on how to use everything in the house to make sure that we were self-sufficient and able to do things on our own. The place itself was soooooo comfortable:) The room was spacious and and the window opened up to great natural light. The temperature was easy to adjust and the mattress was memory foam (my first time sleeping on one) and I may have gotten the best sleep I've ever gotten in my life. It was so great to come home each night after so much walking and aching feet to such a clean, warm, cozy, and inviting space. We never ran into any of the guests, but Ilaria has established great house norms where I never felt like any of the other guests were too loud. Everyone was mutually respectful of the space. The snacks in the refrigerator and morning breakfast and coffee were a plus!!! We found it so easy to see many other parts of Rome because Ilaria's place was only a short walk from the Termini. We were able to easily see Pisa and Venice and would have gone to Milan too if time allowed. We will certainly stay with Ilaria again on our next visit to Italy!
