Gabriele's place had the feel of a luxury boutique hotel but in a historic building in the center of Rome. It's hard to believe it was only a few minutes from the Spanish steps and all the other main tourist attractions. The flat is perfect for families as each room had its own private toilet & shower. The master bedroom has a nice bathtub with hot water. I can't say enough about the location: as soon as you step out there are loads of pizzeria's at great prices + good food! Gabriele was a super host. His parents met us at 6,30 am to let us in. They bought us pastries so that we could catch up on our sleep without starving. We arrived and there was wine, espresso, pasta, and high speed wifi -- all you need to make your stay convenient. Gabriele was the perfect host, communicating with us the entire way through. We've been to Rome three times now and we will definitely be back! Staying at Gabriele's place made the third time the charm.
