Our host and his wife were really great. We picked out their apartment due to the location and the clean white and green décor. It was for a special occasion for the canonization of Mother Teresa (Saint). It was also the first experience for renting an apartment or house. It turned out to be the way that we travel through Europe in the future through airbnb. Carlos and Raffiello were really on the ball to communicate with us and answer any questions that we had. The location was also perfect and made the trip easy to walk to and from any destination around the Vatican. Having an apartment really made us more relaxed and feel like you are not living out of your suitcase. We loved the area and we really loved the outdoor terrace and the neighbors were really helpful also. The neighborhood was safe and due to unusual hot weather made it easy to stay in a cool apartment, due homework for school and wait for the sun to go down and go out. I would recommend Carlos and Airbnb to anyone that is traveling and want to really have a feel for the country they are visiting. I can't thank them enough. They scheduled a taxi for us for us for early departures at the airport and I have to say it was more than 5 stars. Thank you Carlos and I hope to be back with my husband early next spring it truly was great. Thank you, Julie Riley
