I stayed with Gabriele for 2 nights. She lives close to major attractions. I walked to most places as they were within a half hour; however, the subway is very close for those who don't like to walk. I felt very comfortable in her neighborhood. It was safe and quiet. There is an incredible Vietnamese restaurant a block away. Nguyen - Check for reservations during rush times.
Gabriele keeps a very clean place :)
She does a great job on communicating with guests.
What really stood out for me was her openness for interaction. She very respectful, allowing the guest to decide what level of interaction they were wanting. The talks /laughs we had made for a memorable experience.
I would highly recommend staying with her:)
