Giampaolo was the perfect host, and we enjoyed staying in his beautiful apartment. The apartment is only 1/2 block from the entrance to the Vatican and is situated near many restaurants and gelato places, and there is a grocery store a block away and a pharmacy nearby. Giampaolo had maps of the area nearby which showed how to reach the grocery stores, banks, metro, etc. The apartment itself is cozy and comfortable. We walked everywhere from the apartment, including the Bourghese Gallery, the Spanish Steps, the Coloseum, the Forum, Palatine Hill, the Pantheon, the Hall of Justice, the Castle, and, of course, the Vatican and St. Peter's. We could have used public transport as we were only a couple blocks from the Metro, but we are an active family and preferred walking the streets of Rome. We felt entirely safe. Giampaolo was very gracious and kept in good contact and even helped with our luggage when we were loading up to leave. He also had provided us with coffee, croissants, and orange juice. This was our family's first Airbnb experience, and it was so pleasant. We very much recommend staying at this apartment if you're coming to Rome.
