Gabriele was very responsive from the beginning when we were making plans for our trip. He picked us up at the airport right on time and took us directly to the apartment, making friendly conversation along the way. When we arrived at the apartment, it was even better than we had expected! It was in a very safe neighborhood really close to bus lines, metro stops, restaurants and grocery stores. The apartment itself is beautiful, emmaculate and very large. We didn't want to leave! We just loved how the apartment was located in a neighborhood away from all of the tourists. We feel that we really got an authentic cultural experience living here, and are so thankful for that! To top it off, Marzio, Gabriele's brother, invited us to watch a soccer game in a local pizzeria where we had a wonderful time getting to know him and his girlfriend Roberta and Gabriele. All three of them were so incredibly inviting, patient and kind. We thank you all so much for sharing a piece of Rome with us! We will never forget it!
