Our party of six was going to spend two nights in Rome before our cruise. Our plane was late but when we arrived we called Claudia - we had to use someone's phone since ours didn't work in Rome. However, she was waiting on the front steps for us when we did finally arrive. She showed us around. Previously her partner had offered to provide food for us in the apartment. This is a nice, plainly furnished apartment in a neighborhood about 10 minutes walk from the Vatican, so it was nicely located for our first day. It is very clean. We discovered the second day that one bedroom had a small balcony; very cute. Having 3 bathrooms was wonderful for our group of six.

One person in my group complained that the bed was very hard; they are hard, but that was OK with the rest of us.

It's my first airbnb experience so perhaps this is typical, but you will need to bring all our own toiletries, including shampoo and shower soap. The bathrooms have liquid hand soap, however. Also there was no dish soap or dish cloths. There was a teapot and some tea so we could make tea, but no coffee maker. There was a small metal pot that my daughter said was a coffee pot, but unlike anything I had seen, and we had no coffee with us.
