Very Highly Recommended, our family enjoyed a wonderful stay. Luigi is a fantastic host!
I appreciated the prompt response to my email inquiry. Luigi understands English perfectly.
To begin, the location of Luigi's apartment is perfect! You are so close to everything important in Rome. Easy walking distance to everything in the old quarter and hundreds of restaurants withing 5-10 minutes walking distance. There is a small convenience store and pharmacy less than 3 minutes walk from the door of the apartment.
We took the bus easily from the Termini station and we had no problem locating the apartment (thank you google maps!).
Luigi's assitant Ms. Annessia was waiting for us when we arrived. Annessia was very happy to answer every question and made sure that we were all settled in before departing.
Luigi has obviously taken great care in addressing things which he knows that his guests will value. The apartment was perfectly clean on our arrival. Many of the furnishings in the apartment are new and comfortable. We were a family of 4 including two teenagers and the sleeping arrangements were just right. We got to be together as a family which is a critically different experience then you are going to have in a hotel.
Importantly, the wifi worked well. We did turn on the television only once and found it also easy to operate and in good order.
I am a travel professional and sleep close to 100 nights away from home every year for the last 30 years. I think that I know a little bit about travel and European travel is something that I have done extensively. Do not expect the Hilton folks! If you want to stay in the Hilton, you can do that and you can be an hour away from everything important in Rome too or ride their shuttle bus! I have done this and could have done this on this trip but I wanted a "real Rome experience" for my family and we got that!
Upon returning to Rome, I would happily stay with Luigi again! In fact, it would be my first choice if his apartment is available!
Thank you again Luigi for a wonderful stay and for being such a gracious host!
