Gaia was great. She went beyond what we expected. The location was great with walking access to Coliseum and Termini station (15 minutes for each). Some great local restaurants and markets very nearby. A metro station very nearby. The neighborhood in not the most posh, with graffiti on the walls. However, we always felt safe walking around.
We had just come from a Marriott, so we had high expectations. We expected a more modern apartment. It does need some updating. It was clean, but needs painting and perhaps a new sofa and sheets/blankets. Internet was great (we did have to turn the modem off and on when we first arrived). TV was all in Italian, but we plugged our Chromecast we had brought into the TV. Nice roomy refrigerator. We did not use the stove or kitchen very much. So much great Italian food nearby!
Overall we felt we got an excellent value. Gaia was a great host. She really was responsive to our needs and almost acted as a personal concierge.
