We stayed at Gabrieles place for two months with our family of four (2 adults and 2 children aged 3 and 6). The apartment was the perfect place for us. It is filled with light, has a great layout, ample space and is conveniently furnished. There were enough fresh towels and bed linens and everything was immaculately clean. The house itself is very quiet and the neighbours are friendly.
Great location in a lively neighbourhood with a very residential feel. Grocery stores, a pharmacy, bakeries, coffee shop, restaurants and take aways, a very nice park with a well-maintained playground (Carlo Felice), a fantastic childrens bookstore (The little reader) and a Lego shop (Pianeta Mattoncini) as well as one of the most famous Gelaterias (Fassi) all in walking distance. Public transportation is very close and well connected to all the sightseeing locations. There is also a great street for shopping (Via Appia nuova) in the neighborhood.
Gabriele is a fantastic host, was very responsive and helpful when we had questions. He did even take us to the trainstation by car upon departure.
If you want to live like a Roman and have a fantastic host - this ist the place to be :-)!!!
The only negative aspect might be the street noise. It's certainly not an issue if you stay for some days, but the street below the bedrooms is really busy. However, the view ist fantastic!
