We have adopted Jacopo as our Italian cousin/Roman chief of staff. We could not have been happier to have him and his sister as our hosts for our 3 days in Rome. They met us at the train station (a 45 min ride from the Fiumicino airport) and walked us to the apartment. Then he gave us a mini tour of the apartment and an amazing guide to the city, including shortcuts, recommended restaurants and neighborhood synopses.
Without their guidance, we would have missed out on so much of our experience.
The apartment is in a great location, right by the train station (both the commuter rail to the airport and the ATAC.
Go to as many of his recommended restaurants as you can, especially the gelateria which is right near the apartment. You MUST go to restaurant number 7 on his list, it's life changing.
Jacopo and his sister are so very knowledgeable and gracious in sharing tips and making sure we had the best time in Rome. We would absolutely stay with them every time we visit. We cannot wait to go back!
