Gianluca's apartment is in a very safe, attractive building (with elevator)vjust a short walk from Vatican City. (It's a bus ride away from other major sites.) In the apartment, Gianluca has a storehouse of wonderful guidebooks giving visitors all the information they might want or need concerning Rome. Gianlucca welcomed us very warmly upon our arrival and made sure that we were well oriented to the surrounding community's buses, restaurants, etc. He readily volunteered to call us a taxi on the day we were leaving.
