Unfortunately Easyjet decided to cancel our flight as we were going through security at Gatwick at 4am - thank you Easyjet!
So we never made it to Rome.
However, the communication with Mirko was great & he was tremendously helpful and flexible having arranged a private transfer from the airport & early access to drop off our bags even though he couldn't be there.
We will try again another time & will be sure to stay at Mirko's!
