I only rated Arianna 5 stars because there isn’t an option for more. I cannot stress enough how wonderful of a host she is and how lovely this apartment was to stay in. Arianna went above and beyond for my friends and I. She arranged for a car to pick us up from the airport and was waiting for us as soon as we arrived, even though it was over 2 hours later because of a delayed flight. She also went out of her to way help us out when we couldn’t get the washing machine to work.
The apartment itself was perfect and had everything we needed. There were 3 of us in our group, and there was plenty of space for us to sleep, cook, and get ready for the day. The single pull out sofa bed is a little smaller than an average twin bed, but was very comfy to sleep on for a few nights. In the main bedroom, there was an armoire to hang up some clothes, and a full body mirror, which came in handy with a house of 3 girls trying to get ready. Arianna also supplied towels, a hairdryer, everything needed to fully utilize the kitchen, a washing machine, adapters for the outlets, and even some bug spray!
The back patio was the perfect spot to enjoy a bottle of wine in the evening, or some coffee in the morning (which Arianna also provided in the kitchen).
Although this place is a little outside of the main touristy parts of Rome, it is not difficult to get around by bus as long as you look up the bus schedule ahead of time. The apartment is within easy walking distance of some good cafes and a supermarket that has everything you need. Arianna supplies ALL of this information printed in the apartment.
Overall, the warm welcome we received, along with the cozy apartment, made us feel right at home after a few long days of travel from the States. I will definitely stay with Arianna again if I return to Rome and I would highly recommend her to anyone traveling there.
