DON’T HESITATE- BOOK NOW!
This was one of, if not the best Air B and B experiences I have ever had. Antonietta and her son Marco made us feel like we were welcome guests. They were prompt in communicating with us from the time we booked until the day we left. Antonietta met us upon arrival and offered us water, coffee, even ice cream, which was welcome after our train from Florence, and helped us navigate how to get to the Vatican in a hurry for our tour. The apartment itself is darling and cozy. There is a little upstairs loft where you can sit and enjoy the space, and the whole place is well air conditioned, which was a blessing as Rome in June is HOT!
Antonietta and Marco have so many sweet touches; chocolates by the bedside, water and prosecco in the fridge, cookies and coffe/tea. Also, if you have forgotten any toiletries, don’t worry- she has them all, from shampoo to deodorant, even a shower cap! She also has many up to date guide books to review.
The area itself felt very safe, and is within walking distance to the Colosseum. There are many lovely restaurants in the area and it is easy to navigate all of Rome from the nearby metro and bus stops. We particularly enjoyed the coffee and pastries from Regoli and 081 cafe, both of which were in her personal guide of the best of Rome.
Finally, on our last day, we explained we were leaving early the next morning, and had to be at the train station by 430am to get our bus to the airport. Marco personally arranged a cab for us, which was waiting downstairs at 415am. What service! I can’t wait to visit again.
