Giancarlo met us personally at the apartment and gave us useful local advice. He communicated very well. His place is clean, quiet, safe and ideally located for an active visit to Rome. It is just 5-10 minutes walk to the magnificent Basilica of St Peter (free entry). Go early to avoid queues. And don't miss the outstanding Vatican Museum (about €17 adult entry) - you could spend a day or two admiring some of the greatest art ever created.
