Giancarlo's apartment is wonderful. It is located minutes from the Vatican which was our first sightseeing stop on Rome. Giancarlo met us at the apartment and was very helpful. He gave us a list of great places to eat and things to see, he also told us what buses to take to see the Colosseum and other sights. There are also many wonderful food places near by, I suggest a place called 'All Brothers' it's on your way to the Vatican and those two are a hoot! Be weary on Wednesday's because that's when the Pope gives mass so afterward every food place around the Vatican is packed. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and though it's on the bottom floor, it's very safe. I would recommend staying here 100% you'll have an amazing experience.
