I loved my stay in Rome at Gianmarco's place. It was very easy to communicate with him. His English is very good. He responded quickly to messages. He was very helpful in giving me instructions on how to get to his home from the airport (and I don't speak any Italian) and the travel via bus (with a short walk) was very easy! He was a wealth of information for a tourist in Rome. He provided me with a map and a list of key places to visit in my quick 2 days visit. To me, this was invaluable and I am forever grateful!!! And he was eager to help. The one thing I might do differently next time would be to stay in one of his rooms that is NOT right along the street. Initially I was excited for the gorgeous balcony view, but at night it was quite noisy and I had trouble sleeping (even with ear plugs in). But he has other rooms that I bet would be quieter!
