I had such a great time in Rome, and I am so glad that I had an opportunity to stay with Gaetano in his listing. Gae was more than just a host; we became fast friends and I hope we stay in touch from now on! I can't even begin to list all the ways in which Gae went above and beyond, but a few: He introduced me to his friends, and we went to a few parties together; he gave me a ride to the grocery store on the back of his scooter; when I was sick with fever, he got me a doctor (another friend) to help me get well, he recommended some awesome local restaurants, was patient with me when I couldn't figure out the Italian washing machine...overall, my experience in Rome would have been nothing without Gae.

Now, on to the listing itself--my room was spacious, well-lit, and private. Sharing the bathroom and kitchen is a factor, certainly, but with the private entrance, overall, it's relatively easy to spend your time in the house in relative seclusion if you so desire. The location is also wonderful--if you're willing to walk a little, you can get to many of the famous monuments of the city on foot in less than an hour, and less than half an hour using transit.

In my opinion, the price of the rental is more than reasonable--it's an absolute steal. I highly recommend staying here!
