Sergio was WONDERFUL!!! This is what airbnb is made for - an excellent local experience better than any hotel. Communication was great from the first message, and I was really looking forward to Rome. Sergio's directions from the train station were very detailed and even as "directionally-challenged" as I am, I found his B&B easily.

The house is gorgeous, very Italian looking, high ceilings made it seem like a castle, and the room was very comfortable and had a balcony that overlooked the beautiful park across the street. The bathroom is really big and nice and the shower was wonderful, better than any hotel shower in any other Italian city we went to. And breakfast is included! I felt like a princess staying in this beautiful house. This was by far the best place we stayed in Italy.

It's a great location, only a 5-10 minute walk from the train station and close to buses, trams, and subways. On a nice day, everything worth seeing is within walking distance from the apartment. Sergio sat down with us to answer all of our questions and show us a map of Rome's highlights. He made excellent restaurant and sightseeing recommendations; we went to everything he recommended and were never let down.

Sergio was always available for questions and since he lives there, we saw him quite a bit. He was super helpful and nice and truly embodies the warm, kind, friendly Italian persona. His house is perfect and very comfortable, so much so that sometimes you'd rather stay in than go sightsee. If you want to feel like a local Roman, this is the place. I can't praise it enough!
