Very welcoming - a good laminated guide of the house and the local area, and Giulio supplied some provisions, even a bottle of wine! The appt is perfectly located, close to bus stops, the Vatican and all the necessary local shops/restaurants. Good powerful shower. If you're travelling with a baby, know that the stairs are quite steep - just about manageable with 2 people lifting the buggy. Giulio was very good in providing a cot. We found some really nice restaurants and a great wine bar nearby.
