This was our very first Airbnb experience and I know that we will be spoiled forever, as Martina's beautifully appointed flat set the bar very high. Although I have been to Rome on two previous occasions, this was our first time staying in the tourist area. We enjoyed not paying crippling hotel fees and staying in an area where the restaurants are not simply geared to tourists The flat is well located for walking to all the sites and for taking the metro to Vatican City and beyond. The restaurants are authentic and reasonably priced and the shopping looks great. Martina's cafe (near the Opera House) and lunch recommendations (north of Coliseum) were spot on. My two adult sons who travelled with us enjoyed their own bedrooms and shared bath. It was lovely to have so much space.
I cannot recommend this Airbnb highly enough.
