Our experience with Ilse and Diego at their gorgeous apartment was an absolute dream. In fact, now we are finding it impossible to recreate that experience! To begin, our new friends Ilse and Diego are sweet, charming and super accommodating. They provided us with a hand drawn map of their neighbourhood with lists of recommendations for bars and restaurants in the area organized by price $$$ (including a bar that Ilse designed herself, SO COOL). I was constantly texting Ilse for her advice and reco's and she responded at all hours of the day. We love them.
The apartment is perfect. It is not hard to see all of the work and detail that they put into this place. The rooms were clean, minimal and bright. I can't express how nice it is to have a hot shower and quiet oasis to come home to after a long day of sight seeing. Every room in the house opens up to the bright and lush courtyard where we spent most of our time. Many many glasses of Mezcal were had under their starry patio lights before venturing into la Roma for the evening.
This is what Airbnb is all about :)
