Here is a host that takes being a host seriously!! He communicates well, he goes above and beyond your expectation. My friend and I are pretty independent travelers and so we usually go online to book, reserve or plan anything we want to do without anyone's assistance but Gaetano cares enough to ask " Where will you be having dinner?" "I can call to book a reservation for you"
He doesn't let you in the unit and disappear, (which isn't super horrible for us because we were not depending on assistance). He is incredibly helpful. He arranged our ride to and from the airport. He helped us with methods of getting around, with the best places to get breakfast and dinner. He assisted with making dinner reservations. Everything!
None of the above is required of any airbnb host however these are the things that matter. We speak only English so this was super helpful!
Lets talk about the apartment!
It is BETTER than the photos!! It is clean, roomy, with good wifi, everything in the unit works. There were small snacks available in the unit. He met us at the unit, gave us a quick run down of what to expect. We had ZERO ISSUES. NONE. I highly recommend him. I plan to visit Rome again soon and I will be renting from him. I dont have time to experiment with other airbnb hosts.
If you have never used Airbnb before, this apt is the way to go. Just beware, all airbnb hosts are not equal so keep the good ones close. THIS IS A GOOD ONE!
