I could not have asked for a better experience than staying at Agata and Giampolo's place. They both made us feel so very welcome. My son is 13 and they even bought cornflakes for his breakfast and offered to take him to the pool!

I think what meant the most to me was the little tour Giampolo gave us when we arrived. First of all, he gave us very clear instructions about how to get to the apartment and when the taxi driver left us off in an unfamiliar spot, he came to get us on foot so we didnt' get lost. I had spent many days getting lost in Italian cities and Giampolo's tour, and the fact that he pointed out that we were close to the Ponte Sisto and the Piazza Trilussa (and the river) was enormously helpful. I never got lost coming back to their apartment. That meant so much to me! Giampolo also pointed out the best places to eat in the neighborhood, gave us a map and oriented us to the entire city of Rome. You can't get this kind of personal attention at a hotel. He and Agata made sure we had everything we could possibly need.
