Eleonora is a warm and welcoming hostess who goes above and beyond. She organised an airport pick-up for us and was waiting outside the apartment when we arrived.
Eleonora has thought of absolutely everything. From cotton balls to a coffee maker to indoor slippers, there is nothing you will need that she has not already considered and supplied in the flat.
She was also very kind to leave a welcome plate of strawberries and a bottle of wine. She left us juice and milk in the fridge, as well as bread, biscuits and cornflakes.
The apartment is not smack in the middle of the tourist spots but they are easily accessible by metro which is less than five minutes walk away. The Trevi Fountain, Spanish steps etc are about a 10-15 minute metro ride away. Termini station is just one stop away.
We used the metro with no problems at all, and when we took cabs, most of the fares were less than 10 euros.
The neighbourhood didn't make an immediate impression but it's actually safer there because there aren't many tourists around. Massive crowds of tourists is what attracts pickpockets. We (two women) felt safe walking around in the daytime and at night.
Communication before and during the trip was excellent. Eleonora is very responsive.
I recommend Eleonora's apartment. She is a great hostess - probably the best in all my Airbnb experiences - and her flat is modern, well maintained and clean.
