We enjoyed our stay at Gian Paolo's apartment very much. Prior to our arrival Gian Paolo answered any questions promptly and helpfully. On arrival at the apartment we were greeted warmly and and given useful information about the area and Rome, and handy maps and brochures.

The apartment is as presented in the photographs and advice. It is in a charming old building, conveniently on the first floor, with an interesting outlook out the front windows onto Via Urbana. It was very quiet. The A/C worked well, keeping us cool and comfortable during several days of heat wave with day time temperatures of 35 plus. It had everything we needed for a very pleasant stay.

The location was also as promised. It is only a few minutes walk from the Colosseum and the Forum, and not a lot further to other important sites and attractions. The apartment is also a comfortable walk to the Termini (central) railway station, and just up the street from the Cavour Metro station. There are lots of eating and shopping options nearby or not far away.

Because of the unusual heat, we did not do as much walking as we had planned, but the metro, buses and taxis got us around with few problems, though the metro gets very crowded in peak hours.

Gian-Paolo and his family could not have been more helpful and friendly, and made our stay in Rome extremely pleasant and memorable.
