Andrea was by far the BEST Airbnb host we’ve had (and we’ve stayed at many Airbnbs in the past).
Before our arrival, he provided detailed directions from the metro station to his apartment. He then waited for us and helped out with our luggage upon our arrival. Once we entered the apartment, he went over everything we needed to know and also provided info/tips on local attractions/dining options. He also lent us his mobile WiFi without extra charge (the mobile WiFi had been extremely helpful). He even provided snacks, juice, and a bottle of wine for us to enjoy. There was candy and chocolate left in the bedroom as a small, warm welcoming gesture for us.
His apartment was spacious, clean and stylish. We loved the fact that it had a lift, so we didn’t have to carry our luggage upstairs. :)
The location of the apartment was excellent. It was right next to the metro station; Vittorio Emanuele (Orange Line A). It was a bit confusing as how to take the metro when we first arrived Rome. But once we figured it out, everything became easy and made sense.
Our flight to the next destination was late in the evening on our check-out day. Andrea offered to let us keep our luggage until we had to head to the airport since he didn’t have any booking that night. This also saved us a tremendous amount of time and hassle. One tip to share with you: we ordered a taxi on MyTaxi app (a 45 minute ride (~€55) to get to FCO airport) during rush hour on weekday.
Overall, Andrea went above and beyond to provide a comfortable and enjoyable stay as a host. We truly enjoyed staying in his apartment and cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone who wants to visit Rome.
Thank you soo much, Andrea for your warm hospitality and for sharing your apartment with us. We hope to return to Roma and stay at your place again soon!! :)
