Giampaolo was an excellent and friendly host, and his apartment is ideally situated in Prati, steps from the Vatican Museum and a short walk to St. Peter's Square and to a nearby metro stop that can get you to almost any place in Rome.

The apartment is very spacious, with lovely high ceilings. Many of the original details have been retained although the kitchen and bathroom have been modernized. It was also very clean and well equipped.

The Prati neighbourhood is very safe and has some great food places including the Trionfale market, Pizzarium for great pizza, and some very good restaurants including Settimbrini, Cacio e Peppi, and Romeo.

We appreciated that Giampaolo dropped by on our last night to check on our visit and also arranged a car to take us to the airport for our early morning flight home. I am very sure that he would attend to any needs his guests might have.

I can wholeheartedly recommend this apartment to one or two couples or a family for their stay in Rome. My husband and I would be very happy to stay here again.
