DO NOT MISS THE CHANCE TO STAY IN THE AMAZING AIR BNB!!! Only 1 review because it’s BRAND NEW
My wife and I (24) are on our honeymoon backpacking through Europe for our very first time. Rome and Italy in general have always been a dream of mine to visit. We aren’t staying in each city for very long, so close proximity to transportation, as well as attractions/food it’s very important to us. This air bnb truly was exactly what we needed! It has the only balcony in the entire building and it over looks the imperial forum (really cool ruins) and has the best view of the shrine to the fatherland. Walking through Rome is east and beautiful, and all the major stops are just a few minuets away. In just a couple hours we got breakfast, visited the pantheon, saw Trevi fountain, the Colosseum and even more. The streets out front are small and quiet, but 2 minutes away is a major street where you can easily get taxis or Ubers if that’s your preference. The metro stations are close by as well, and the main Roma Termini (Roman Terminal) is a 20 minuet walk, which we did this morning on our way to Florence. The apartment was renovated just recently and has all brand new equipment. I have to say again that location COULD NOT BE ANY BETTER. Don’t let yourself miss it because of the lack of reviews, it truly is an amazing stay and location.
Aside from that, the best part actually ended up being the hosts themselves. We were greeted by Koen, Ginnilov’s Husband and he is a very kind and thoughtful man. He walked us through the apartment and made sure we didn’t have any questions and that we were as comfortable as possible. They even left a bottle of wine for us to enjoy on our first night. He won’t tell you this but Koen is a very good painter and the art on the walls inside was done by him! Ginnilov did everything she could to make our stay as good as possible, and she honestly made us feel like family. She’s probably the best tour guide in the entire city and gave us a list of places to go, things to eat, and how to see places like the Vatican and St Peters Basilica without wasting time it money. There are a lot of companies scamming people for “skip the line tickets” and she made sure that did not happen to us. Without the help of Ginnilov and Koen I don’t think we would have been able to see or do all that we did. It really made our first Rome experience perfect and unforgettable. The perfect host is really what can make or break and air bnb experience, and I could not have asked for any better. I WILL be coming back one day and I will always stay with Ginnilov and Koen. It sound weird but I will genuinely miss them, they were great people.
I know this review is long and kinda sappy, but I want everyone to know how good of a place this is and how incredible to hosts were. I hope that if you’re reading this it convinces you to pull the trigger and stay here, you WILL NOT regret it. I’ll remember this trip forever. Thank you Ginnilov, and thank you Koen for making our honeymoon perfect. Until next time! <3
