My girlfriend and I stayed at Giuseppe’s apartment for 5 nights in April 2015. As our flight arrived a few hours earlier than the listed check-in time, and there was nobody staying in the apartment the night before, Giuseppe was kind enough to meet us earlier.

On the whole, the apartment was exceptional and I would highly recommend it. Among the positive points are:
• Fantastic location (all of the main sights are in walking distance, with perhaps the exception of the Vatican and St Peter’s, for which we took the metro from Barberini)
• Modern, clean furnishings (all of the photos are representative of the apartment)
• Kitchen and cooking equipment (if staying on a tight budget, you could save a lot of money by eating in the apartment, although we opted to eat lunch and dinner out to make the most of our stay)
• Very secure (this was one of my main concerns with using Airbnb for the first time, arriving to find an apartment which could be easily broken into – fortunately this was not the case, as there is a large wooden door leading to the lobby area, and then a choice of two lifts or stairs to the first floor apartment which again had a secure door)
• Air conditioning (although it took a little while to work out how to use them!)

The only negative points I can think of are that the bathroom is slightly cramped, and the wall between the bathroom and bedroom is rather thin, so you can hear the toilet flushing quite clearly. To be perfectly honest, however, unless you’re spending a significant amount of time in the apartment (which you shouldn’t be in a city like Rome!), they are insignificant points which should not stop you from choosing to stay in this apartment.

A fantastic apartment in a great location and for a good price – if you’re considering staying here, do it!
