I stayed in Olga's flat with my boyfriend and 81 year old father. I wanted a flat that would be comfortable, especially for an older person (my elderly father), easy to find, close to the main attractions and with good transport links. This was my first time using Airbnb and I was very pleased with the experience.

We arrived quite late on a Sunday and Olga organised our transport from the airport which made our arrival to the flat very smooth. The apartment was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. It has three proper bedrooms (two doubles and a single), although the single bed in the smallest bedroom is probably more suitable for a child or more petite adult. The smaller double bedroom was the quieter room for sleeping as it overlooked the internal courtyard. The larger double bedroom is lovely and is quiet at night but suffers from some street noise in the morning. This didn't bother my deep sleeping boyfriend and after the first night I used earplugs, so not a problem. Olga kindly left water, French toast and milk for us which were good to have.

There are small cafes nearby (we had brunch at one of them on the first morning) and there is a small shop opposite, useful for milk etc. The apartment is close to two metro stops and is almost opposite the Archbasilica of St John Lateran (which is worth visiting). It's location close to St John Lateran meant that it was easy to work out which buses we could get back from the historical centre (buses 81 and 87 run from near the Pantheon to St John Lateran). The apartment was only a 20 minute walk from the Colosseum and two metro stops from Termini station. On our last day Olga very helpfully allowed us to leave our luggage at the flat as her next guest wasn't arriving until later in the evening. This saved us time and hassle on our last day in Rome, making the day much more enjoyable.
