GiaRa was a great place to stay in Rome.
On arrival the illuminated dome of St Peter's filled the view down the street. The self check-in worked flawlessly - though as it was a system I hadn't encountered before I was a little concerned in advance.
The apartment’s layout is a bit odd and both the shower rooms are a bit quirky too and might pose a challenge to someone with mobility issues.
The good sized Carrefour supermarket just around the corner was open 24/7 and stocked pretty much anything I needed during my stay. The location is great with many Roman sights within 20 mins walk. The number 64 bus from in front of the train station runs frequently to Termini station passing close to the Colosseum on the way.
A local attraction I can thoroughly recommend is Castel Sant'Angelo for it's 'access all areas’ approach. The view from the top is one of the best in the city. The cafe with the walls was very good and one of it's tables (seats 4) has just about the best view in Rome.
This is the second of Giancarlo’s homes that I have stayed in (after EsquilinHome in September 2016) and like that apartment I think that GiaRa is an excellent base for a visit to Rome (especially the Vatican, of course). I think that Giancarlo is an excellent host.
I would happily stay in GiaRa again.
