Before the trip I heard that Rome could influence one a lot, with its history wandering the streets and the sound of opera floating in the air, and was wondering what my first impression would be like. When I found myself on Via Laurina at Giacomo's apartment, one step from Fellini's house on Via Margutta, I couldn't help smiling - so beautiful my acquaintance with Rome was. And I continued smiling for eight days spent there, for which I'm very grateful and would like to say a sincere (to what extent so-called 'big Russian soul' can be sincere :) ) grazie to Giacomo for being so very kind.
Giacomo organized my transfers from and to the airport, and provided me with guidebooks about Rome and a proper advice where to go, what to see.
His apartment itself is very elegant, mostly in white colours; it's pleasant to stay there; one shouldn't forget to brew such a fine coffee which lives in the apartment, while low sill is wide open in the morning and all room is suffused with the sunlight.
I would definitely like to recommend Giacomo's place, since it feels like home. And to feel that you're home in Rome - how marvellous is that.
