Raffaele was the perfect host. He had a welcome gift and he bought things for us for breakfasts. He suggested great places to go: authentic restaurants (for Rome's standards) and he was so helpful whenever we needed a local perspective. His general demeanor was so friendly and put me at ease in such a big city. I am so glad we stayed here. Plus the bed was very comfortable and the private bathroom had a jacuzzi bathtub with mood lighting! The flat was a 10 second walk to the metro stop, so it was very easy to get anywhere you wanted. Raffaele it a true gift in the tourist trap of Rome.
