Gianluca’s place was excellent. It was very modern and spacious. It’s very clear he worked hard to create a comfortable space for his guests. We made a reservation the day we checked in because the hotel we had booked turned out to be in a very shady location. Gianluca accommodated us and met with us at his apartment in less than two hours.
The apartment is very close to the red line metro that takes you all the way to Termini and the Vatican. It is a bit far and expensive to go to central Rome by Uber or Taxi, but it is only 20 or so minutes by Metro.
The neighborhood of the apartment is good as well. Some parts of Rome can be sketchy at night, but we felt safe walking in the dark by his place. There are also a few shops and restaurants nearby if you want a quick bite without going too far.
Overall, we are very happy with the experience. We’ll definitely come back to Gianluca’s place next time we go to Rome!
