Words are not a fair way to describe how phenomenal my wife and I's experience with Attilio was, but I will try.
THE HOST
Attilio is the epitome of how one would want a host to be. He was so welcoming and helpful, like having your own personal concierge only a message away. I work for luxury resorts and he reminded me what genuine Hospitality is and how Luxury should feel. Every need I had and every need I didn't know I had was met.
From the moment I booked our stay with Attilio I knew that we were in for an exceptional AirBnB experience. His initial reply to my booking was a detailed explanation on how to get from the main Fiamcino Airport (FCO) -- which I and he recommend to anyone coming to Rome!! Additionally, he went ahead and suggested the Roma pass as a great deal and to prebook certain excursions if able.
We were actually arriving via Ciampino (CIA) so he gave me the options and his recommendations on getting to Rome in no time at all.
Upon our arrival he sat down with both of us asking questions to discern our likes and dislikes and made suggestions on itinerary and dining--all of which were extraordinary, if he gives you a suggestion I encourage listening to him.
Lastly, he provided us a wonderful breakfast both mornings, even though we were leaving quite early in the morning both days--like the shoemakers elves you would never know he was doing it!
THE SPACE
Great location just off the 8 tram. Its not "in town," but is very easily accessible and nearby restaurants that have great food and pricing. The Flat is stunning with elegant decor and an overall sophisticated feel. The room was well equipped with a beautiful garden balcony, wonderfully comfortable bed and an armoire. Right across from the room is the private bathroom, with all the best amenities that one would expect in top notch hotels--not necessarily an AirBnb. I know its small, but when I saw that he had both liquid AND bar soap (to meet either preference) I was impressed.
My recommendation-- dont pick your dates and then see if Attilio has room. Book with him and THEN make those dates happen!!!
