We could not have asked for a better host. The restaurant Gianni recommended was amazing - the staff there new him by name, they treated us like royalty and the food was spectacular. He offered a ride service from FCO - I strongly recommend taking it. It was hassle free and the driver was awesome (thanks Jian!). The apartment was exceptional and conveniently located by the coliseum. If this apartment is available, hurry up and make the reservation!
