Francesco was a wonderful host to deal with and very easy to communicate with leading up to the trip. Just good to remember to come furnished with some Euro for the Tourist Tax in Italy which we had to pay for on arrival, which we were unaware of - Euro 1.50 per person per day.

His apartment in Travestere is situated right in the middle of the action, and was within walking distance of pretty much everything in Rome (Vatican: 25 mins; Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon: 25 mins; Colloseum, Roman Forum: 20 minutes) which was so great as we barely used taxis or public transport.

Another great bonus which doesn't often happen on AirBnB is his apartment is on the ground floor, which after long days of walking helps not to climb endless stairs. That said with a ground floor apartment you can sometimes smell damp in the air, but the apartment has air conditioning which is great should the apartment get a bit stuffy.

Francesco kindly pointed out one or two places to eat nearby, but the joy of Travestere is you walk out the door and you are in the heart of bars, restaurants, shops etc - there is plenty to choose from!

Francesco was also kind enough to organise a driver to the airport for us at the end of the trip who collected us right from the apartment door and took us straight to the terminal - would highly recommend this service.

I would without doubt recommend staying in this cosy little apartment in Travestere, you are right where you want to be and it's just so easy!
