This was our first experience booking on AirBnb and we could not have wished for a better host to welcome us to Rome than Nicolo.

From the very beginning Nicolo answered all our questions, very promptly, and we certainly had a lot of questions for him. He would always get back to us within the day and that helped put us at ease.

Nicolo also arranged for our transfer from the hotel direct to the door step of his apartment, helped us with our bags and showed us around the apartment. He had a welcome pack of all the local eateries with google maps printed out showing us how to get to all of them. Very useful!

The apartment is just as pictured. We were 6 adults and one 22 month year old and there was enough space for all of us. The bathrooms were very clean, the towels very fresh. He also provided us with plenty of tea , coffee and spaghetti to get going if we wanted to cook. Which we did a couple of times. For anyone wanting to cook - the facilities are very good so it should all be a breeze.

The apartment is about 200m from the closest Metro, which in turn is also about 3 stops to the Vatican station, maybe 4 or 5 to the Spanish Steps (Spagna) station. There is a small grocery store open until midnight and a lovely shop with coffee and cakes no more than 10m from the apartment.

But the star here is Nicolo, he was so welcoming and friendly and was always on hand to help us with any issues because he lives only a couple of mins down the road himself. He even helped take my wife to the doctors when she got sick. What more could you ask for.

All in all a great stay. A great place and a great host made us feel very welcome on our first trip to the Eternal city.
