Giancarlo is a brilliant host. We had such a warm welcome as he greeted us in person and showed us around the apartment. He is warm and helpful and very quick to respond. He also recommended a range of great restaurants and tips on how to easily traverse Rome. He was even kind enough to let us leave our baggage in the apartment after checking out as our flight wasn't until the evening and the next guests were not in that night.
The apartment is in a great location 5 minutes walk from the Vatican with St Peters Basilica viewable from the front door. The neighbourhood is quiet and safe and very easy to get into all the major sites. We walked most of the time but there is a nearby bus and train station too. The apartment is well stocked with everything you need as well as a few goodies and a supermarket round the corner allows you to get any other bits you might want.
We fell in love with Rome and have been so pleased to have Giancarlo's apartment as our home base. Beautiful city, lovely apartment and wonderful host!
I'd wholeheartedly recommend Giancarlo and his apartment!
