We had a wonderful visit to Rome, staying in Gabriele's apartment. The view of St. Peter's Basilica from the window was spectacular. Gabriele greeted us and had parking available for us (which could have been quite a problem if he hadn't arranged for it). He met us and showed us around the house and made sure that we were comfortable with everything. Its a quick walk to the metro (don't move the car!) and lots of stores and restaurants close by. Beds are comfortable, even the futon couch.
