Giorgio's apartment was perfect! A pristine place with very comfotable beds, fantastic showers and an easily understandable heating system (which was handy as it got a bit chilly at night as we were visiting mid-December). It also had a great view from the living room window of the nightly starling murmeration over the city - a sight not to be missed.

We were met by a super-friendly friend of Giorgio's who explained all we needed to know about the appartment, and who wasn't at all put out by the fact he had to wait for us for half an hour outside due to our flight being delayed.

Giorgio himself went over-and-above as a fantastic host. I had a medical issue on arrival (losing my medication - as a diabetic) and had a tricky time dealing with the Italian speaking hospital staff, causing a few difficulties. Giorgio was at the end of the phone and happy to help if he could. He also checked back with me later (after midnight) and then also, the next day, to see that I was all ok. He was happy to be called at any time too, if I had any questions.

The apartment is only around 10-15 minutes walk from the Collosseum, or just two stops on the No 3 tram or 51 bus from Via Manzoni (the street at the bottom of the street the apartment is on) and there as a great little reasonably-priced restaurant just at the top of the street too, if you don't fancy travelling into town.

The ONLY slight drawback is that the lift up to the apartment (on the 6th floor) is very small and will only fit three people in, or two people with not too much luggage, so if you have more than that, you may have to do two trips!

Overall, I would highly reccommend this apartment to anyone visiting this wonderful city.
