With no hesitation I booked Gino's apartment after reading the reviews. The apartment is spacious and clean. In the Rome heat (37°C when we were there!), the air conditioning worked perfect. Gino took the time to give us explanations about local restos, transportation and sights. He left us goodies for us eat (pasta, sauce, bread, croissants, chips and jus) which was very thoughtful. We had 1 day to visit Rome and in the heat with 2 small children we opted to tour with Gino's friend Aldo. He offers night tours and upon request on weekends for a day tour (100€ for the day). We saw more than we would have ever done on our own with a hop on hop off bus. He brought us to one of his favorite pizza restaurants and for 52€ (5 people) we ate like kings. And not to mention the air conditioning in the car!!! Total comfort and our own private guide (more comfortable in Spanish vs English however Google translate made up what we didn't understand). Thank you both to Gino and Aldo for making our trip memorable.
