Antonio was truly a super-host! He was extremely responsive leading up to our stay at his apartment with clear information on how to get to his place, how much the taxi should cost, what amenities he had, etc.
Once there, he was on site to welcome us. He is an effusive, enthusiastic soul who patiently gave us lots of useful information on sights to see, restaurants and gelateria to eat in, etc. He had detailed itineraries and walking routes printed out for us. His apartment was roomy and squeaky clean, close to the Colosseum, with all the amenities you can think of, including a washer and dryer that we immediately put to use.
As a super touch, he had stocked up the apartment with a chilled bottle of sparkling wine, bread, croissants, cups of flavored yogurt, a jam tart, a large basket of fruit, juices, jam tea and coffee and other condiments!
He even booked the cab for us to get to the airport at 3 AM for our flight home at the "local" rate so we didn't get hustled into paying more.
All in all, an awesome stay and a wonderful host.
