This small apartment is only a ten minute walk to the colosseum (closer then google maps says). It is close to a main strip with restaurants and supermarkets making it incredibly easy to navigate! The apartment itself is small but has everything you need for your trip to Rome
The host, arranged a driver for us from the airport! This was our best decision as we came from an overnight flight, the car only costed 55 euros and met us upon arrival. We went through the map of Rome, local suggestions for food and how to navigate the area.
This trip was not without flaws unfortunately. When we got to the apartment, although it was early check in, we had communicated this early on with our host giving them our flight information, it was dirty. The host had it cleaned immediately however this did mean instead of our much needed nap after our long overnight flight we roamed the city exhausted.
The air conditioner was also not working, our apartment was 30 degrees Celsius our entire stay. Leaving no area but the frequent showers and one fan to get away from the summer heat. The host was very apologetic for this.
Lastly, we enjoy Airbnb for the local knowledge and experience it brings meeting our hosts. We unfortunately both agreed that we perhaps should have stayed at a hotel after learning that all the information gathered about the metro from our host did not matter as the metro was under maintenance. We struggled to get a taxi or understand how to get to the Vatican any by bus (also lacked time), having to go into a hotel for more information.
Overall, great hosts and a great location for the price. Things just got lost in the details.
