This was my first airbnb-stay and I must say that I was a bit nervous, I mean we have all read horror stories about bad airbnb-experiences. All my worries disappeared immediately, however, when I met Ilaria and saw the apartment, and I ended up having a great month at her place. To begin with, Ilaria is a wonderful host, kind, welcoming and taking interest in her guests – we ended up having a very nice conversation at our first meeting. She is easy to communicate with, replies quickly to messages and checks in to see that everything is fine. The apartment is located in a quiet and safe, middle-class residential area about 13 minutes of walking from the nearest metro station (the metro will take you to Termini in about 17 minutes). Since it is located at some distance from the central parts of Rome, it might not be the first choice for the first-time Rome traveler who wants to pack as much as possible into only a few days. If you are in Rome for a longer period of time, however, and/or like me prefer to stay in an authentic Roman neighborhood, away from the craziness of the touristy areas, this is a perfect match for you. The pictures of the apartment on the site are very accurate. It is nice, bright and comfortable and has everything you could possibly need, whether you are staying for only a few days or a longer period of time – a comfortable bed, lots of storage space, a very well-equipped kitchen, bathroom with washing machine, big flat-screen TV with lots of channels and fast, reliable wifi. Conveniently, there is also a big, well-stocked supermarket only two minutes away. I strongly recommend Ilaria’s place and hope to be able to return soon.
