I would chose Gaias apartment over any hotel! It was so beautiful, designed in a modern and antique way. The whole apartment is very very clean, I would say even more than most of the hotels I've been to! Every day when I came home, my bed was done and there was a little jug filled with cold water on my bedside table. I had my own bathroom and TV, also an AC, which I didn't use because the temperature in the room is really nice even without AC. Gaia was a great host, helping me with everything on my trip, giving me advice for my sightseeing and for going out. She is a really nice, warm open-hearted person, I am really glad I met her! The appartment is located in a nice and safe area, near to Ponte milvio, which is perfect for an afternoon drink. I often came home very late and I wasn't afraid at all. I loved my vacation in Rome and I will come again for sure!
