Stefano is an exceptional host. He responds to inquiries quickly and works hard to ensure your stay in Rome is excellent. We were greeted by him, and he was kind enough to help carry our luggage up the few flights of stairs. He then took the time to make sure we were settled. He also offered some suggestions on eating, transit, etc that were very helpful.

His apartment matches his desire to be a good host. It's a very nice apartment. They put a lot of effort into creating a very comfortable space. The apartment is better than even in the pictures. The location is great. It's just around the corner from the Pantheon. It was incredible to go for a stroll at 7am to see the Pantheon with no crowd in the piazza. It's also an easy 10-15 minute walk to the Colosseum.

Unfortunately, because new Rome is built on top of Old Rome, the city does not have a great public transit system. There are plenty of buses, but we did not bother. We walked or hired a taxi. There is a taxi stand at the Pantheon that will get you just about anywhere in Rome for less than 10 Euro. Since Stephen's apartment is so close to the Pantheon, this is very convenient. His apartment is also about a 2 minute walk to Giolitti. If you don't know this name, learn it quick. Best gelato in Rome!

Bottomline, I highly recommend allowing Stefano to host you in this apartment.
