The house was lovely and very much like the pictures suggested. Its in a great area, in Prati , very close to Vatican City and the museums, St Peter’s Basilica and other places like Trastevere (nightlife/restaurant hot spot) and public transport. The metro Ottaviano is only 7min walk away and there’s bus stops around the corner also. The building is secure and you have a lift inside but just a warning- it only takes you to the 5th floor and the apartment is on the 6th, so you need to walk a flight of marble steps to get to there. This wasn’t explicitly clear in Rico’s instructions but we figured it out nonetheless :)
Whilst we didn’t use the rooftop much, as it was super hot while we were there, it was a cute little space and great for drying the washing! Haha!
Netflix on the tv was great and bed was comfortable. Whilst we had a few issues with the washing machine and hot water, Rico was quick to respond to messages and came over to help us too. We were so appreciative because its those things when you meet your host and actually speak to them face to face, which is the beauty of Airbnb and makes it such a good experience. Wifi dropped in an out a little but cos we also had Italian SIM cards, we had data anyway so it wasn’t a big deal and usually didn’t take long to improve.
Overall we enjoyed our stay at Rico’s and would definitely stay again if we came back to Rome. Thank you Rico for all your help! Grazie mille 🤍
