Karina's place is one of those incredible gems of Airbnb. How much of a gem? A friend of mine who grew up in Roma a few blocks away walked in and said 'wow...this is an oasis!'
You enter through a blue-painted French garage door and suddenly you're in a chic, vaulted ceiling apartment with a sexy architectural extension that looks right out onto an incredible garden.
The kitchen is very minimalist and has everything you'd need, and the furnishings are super DF chic.
Some notes -- the location is amazing, a quiet classic street in Roma lined with a mix of tall colonial homes and modern buildings. You're only a block from a major street with every shop and café you'd ever need. Walk a few more blocks and there are hip eateries like Lalo...amazing.
And the garden...truly one in a million. Just waking up and looking at the dew gathering on the plants, just outside your window, made my trip even better.
What made this all even better was how courteous and kind Karina is. She met me at the apartment, walked me through the apartment and showed me a list of local eateries, from taco spots to fine dining.
Karina's apartment is also in a very safe neighborhood. The neighbors all say Hola when you pass on the street and the corner coffee man recognized me and my order on the second day I was there.
If you're looking for a great spot to stay in Roma, look no further. You will love Karina's apartment!
