WOW. I have traveled a lot, and I have stayed at many Airbnb and VRBO properties over the years. I have just returned from Italy, and this was the fourth property I stayed in as I traveled the country. It was also the last property before our departure back home. And it was absolutely outstanding. The flat ha been remodeled without destroying the historical beauty and integrity of the unit. It was thoughtfully tastefully and comfortably decorated. And it was, by far, the most comfortable bed we have had on the entire trip. She had provided a selection of pillow types, which was really nice, as I have come to conclude that Europeans like very hard, flat pillows. There was a beautiful kitchen, stocked with all the basics you need, coffee, tea, a selection of ways to make your coffee, spices, etc. The bathroom was beautiful, and the shower was actually big enough to move around in, lol. And the other couple using the second bed and bath had the same to say about their experience.
Now on to the location. We were located just a few blocks from the top of the Spanish Steps, in an upscale neighborhood with all of the fantastic shops, bars, and restaurants you could want. And it’s location to put us in perfect proximity for a quick walk to the Borghese museum.
I do want to particularly mention a restaurant, Frachetteria, on Via dei Cappuccini, maybe a two minute walk from the residence. It is tiny. And I mean really, really tiny, but it is a combination of a salumeria, wine bar, and restaurant. We saw him busting out Charcuterie boards all night that were eye-poppingly amazing. He also owns the wine shop next-door and offered us a €20 bottle that was well worth the price. He could have easily tried to upsell us on something more expensive. The place is so tiny we ended up having a chat with two other tables and basically close the place down. Make sure to get a reservation.
I would imagine by now you have looked at property after property after property trying to decide which one to choose. Choose this one. I am picky, fussy, and have a overblown X Factor, and this place is so clean and nice that I could easily have stayed a month. Check-in was easy and smooth, and you could use your phone to unlock the main door to the apartment, so no fussing with keys. Quit sticking hearts next to properties to come back to later and just book this place. You will not be disappointed, I guarantee it.
