Booked!
I mentioned that we were using the addictively clickable airbnb to find a spot in Rome. Well, I quickly became overwhelmed by the options and let Joe take over. After a couple of late nights, he found this spot and we booked it! It’s the location we wanted, Campo di Fiori, a one bedroom (4th floor walk up, gulp) with a crib, and the perfect patio. It was important to us that we’d be comfortable just staying in most nights since Lux will probably go to bed early.
This patio + salami + extra candles = best restaurant in town.
I appreciate that things like a full kitchen and free wifi are assumed with apartment rentals. It’s amazing how hotels sound so lovely when it’s just the two of you, but with a rambunctious kiddo the space of an apartment seems so much more relaxing.
The only sad part for me with a rental v. hotel, and this is just silly, is that you have to go hunting for your breakfast. I’ve been using Elizabeth Minchilli’s Eat Rome app to scout out relaxed bars nearby for breakfast.

Inspired by you, I told Ofer the other day that we need to build our tiny house somewhere that will be an attractive destination for airbnb people whose homes we may want to swap. So excited you guys are making the trip again.

Yes! I knew what you were thinking. There’s been a lot of name dropping off both around here these days (in fact, we just did an exchange with an NYC couple). We are so excited too.

That looks so cozy and cute; have fun in Rome!
Claire
So thrilled for you! I can’t believe we never talked about this at lunch. You must be so excited.

There was just TOO much to talk about at that lunch! I am really excited. It’s coming up (in April) fast too.

Oh it looks awesome. I imagined it would. That deck! I imagine many warmish nights out there with wine and cheese while Lux slumbers.
Also, the idea that Steve and I aren’t taking some GRANDIOSE trip before Parker turns two (dun-dun-dun) and costs a flight is ridiculous to me. We are planning on Colorado but… Italy would be better.

Oh, I’m glad to hear you’re planning something!

the patio is lovely… the view promising… looking forward to your pictures and descriptions of the destination

Wow. Take me with you?
I’ll even camp out on the patio so as not to crowd the bedroom too much.
