Gianluca's apartment was perfect for our family (2 adults + 3 kids) visit to Rome: An easy walk to the Colosseo and Roman Forum + steps away from the subway for easy travel to other sights who were not within walking distance for our 3-year old. Parking in the area is a bit tricky, but manageable (paid street parking runs ~8 euros/day). Supermarkets and restaurants are within a few minutes' walk.

Gianluca was a great host: Very timely and thorough communication before, during and after the stay + A nice welcome at our arrival (Gianluca and his girlfriend waited for us at the apartment, our late-night arrival notwithstanding, and helped us get settled - including carrying in part of our considerable amount of luggage).
