Gene's home was the ideal place to stay. The apartment is large, clean, well decorated and the room in which we stayed was very large with a bed more comfortable than the bed we have at home. Gene provide breakfast each morning at whichever time we agreed upon and the breakfast was wonderful. The location of the apartment is great, right next to the Vatican and many bus stops nearby. Gene is extremely knowledgeable about the city and beyond that, he is a wonderful person. We were able to fall in love with Rome in great part to genes love of Rome. We wish we could have stayed longer with him and have found a lifelong friend. This is a must-stop b&b!
