We stayed with Attilio on our first trip ever to Italy, and we couldn't have had a more knowledgeable, enthusiastic, thoughtful, and affable host. Attilio provided superb communication every step of the way, from the time we first booked, as we were getting to Rome, and throughout our stay. Attilio loves his city and will help you with an amazing array of suggestions on sites, restaurants, and experiences. His apartment is a mini-art gallery, and the breakfast he provided each morning was a work of art in itself. The bed was soooo comfortable we wished we could take it back to the USA with us; the entire apartment, including the bathroom was immaculate. We arrived later than expected after our long flight and several nights while in Rome - Attilio was there for us every time (though he did give us a key). He graciously arranged a very early cab for us to get to our departure train station the morning we left, and more graciously got out of bed to let one of us back in when one of us realized we had left our glasses in the bedroom and had to race back up and ring the doorbell at an ungodly hour. And I could go on. He is definitely a 5 + host. To sum up -- Going to Rome? Stay. With. Attilio!
