Giulio’s place is exactly as described — it’s fantastic! The apartment itself is set in a great location — in the beautiful neighborhood of Trastevere but right across from the Isola Tiberina and Ponte Garibaldi bridge, so it’s a short walk over the Tiber River to the heart of Rome. It’s also set back off the main street on a quiet alley, so it’s relatively quiet. We walked to just about everything (Pantheon: 15 mins, Colosseum: 20/25 mins, great restaurant called Roscioli: 8 mins). And if you don’t want to walk, it’s easy to hail one of the white taxis.
The apartment itself is great. It has a fantastic kitchen with espresso maker, a great bathroom, and wonderful decor. The only downside was the upstairs bed was a bit smaller than a Queen, but there’s a Queen-sized pullout downstairs.
The best part however was Giulio. His hospitality and professionalism were above and beyond. He arranged (we paid) for a car to pick us up and drop us off at the airport. And when we messaged him because we thought the air conditioning wasn’t working properly, he came over and fixed it himself. Finally, he gave us so many good recommendations for places to eat and things to do around Rome.
We couldn’t recommend this place highly enough.
