Cristiano lives up to his reputation as a super host. Before our trip, he responded to all my emails and queries promptly and with unfailing courtesy, offering any help he could.
He even helped us with our application for tickets to the papal audience.
When we arrived at the apartment, we were pleased to find he is as positive and friendly in person. The apartment was cosy and clean, everything worked and he even left us some basic supplies like coffee, milk, biscuits and more -- a very nice touch. He offered suggestions on where to eat, travel advice and told us to call him anytime if we needed any help. We had a lovely 4 days in the apartment...our only regret? That we did not stay longer.
