Walter deserves the title "super-host". Upon making the reservation, he sent very detailed instructions about finding the apartment and all the amenities. We knew what to expect in every detail. He is a very concerned and caring host and was kind to us even though we had trouble getting in touch with him before arrival (the communication problems were on our end, not his). The result was he waited for us for three hours. Once we got there, he provided a map and a verbal orientation to the city that served us for our entire stay. As for the apartment: Wow! The walls were 3/4M thick, with very effective double shutters on the windows, so even though we were in the heart of bustling Rome, we could retire to a quiet and peaceful oasis free of city sounds. It was everything Walter described and more, and we would stay again in this beautiful apartment in a heartbeat.
