There are not enough words in the dictionary to explain how great this location is if you are traveling to Rome. John shared vital details with impecable directions to his location. It was my parents and I first time in Rome and John made us feel like family. For those who only speak spanish you are in luck, John speaks fluent spanish, english and italian. Not only did he share all the great sites to visit but also explained the metro lines. We came during New Years so the city was chaotic but having Johns place 10 minutes fron downtown was extremely helpful. The neighborhood is gorgeous, safe and clean. We even went to the local grocery store to purchase food and water. Rome is a massive city and if you plan to be there for 3 to 4 days this place is a MUST! I'm from California and trust me when I say, you need John in your life to tackle Rome. Do not think twice, just book it!
