I highly recommend staying at Gabriele’s place and would choose to stay when I visit Rome again. The location is great, it’s right next to the Vatican and near the centre with buses, trams and the metro nearby. There are plenty of good restaurants, shops and supermarkets nearby - really liked La Zanzara and also hamburger place Quarto. Gabriele personally came to check me in himself and was always very helpful and had great suggestions. I also requested an early check-in and late checkout and Gabriele was very nice to accommodate me.
