Both Gian Paolo & his son Marco were there to meet us. Our train into Termini was late but it wasn't a bother to them. There was fresh fruit, a bottle of wine, tea & coffee making facilities plus a wahing machine - important if you've been travelling for a while. The apartment was clean & spacious & had air conditioning which was important in the hot weather. They walked us through the apartment, left a comprehensive list of things to do, how to get places & where to eat - not that eating out was a problem! The street was abuzz with cafés, bars & restaurants. Walking distance to most major tourist attractions, only had to use Metro to get to Vatican & Ostia Antica (highly recommend this for a day trip). Termini station 1.5 klms & closest Metro station no more than 300 mtrs.
Gian Paolo is a fantastic host, we were in contact numerous times with him, he always replied quickly. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him or his apartment - made our first trip to Rome a great memory.
