Elvio is exactly what your looking for in a host. Its our first time in Rome and Elvio kept in contact leading up to the trip making sure we knew directions. He answered every call and email immediately. Once there he made us feel like family. The place is beautiful and very clean. The balcony view is amazing and so close to the Vatican. Elvio continued to go above and beyond as a host during our 2 day stay that we now consider him a friend and hope to visit him here or have him in the States. Do yourself a favor and stay with someone who will take care of your needs and not hand you keys then never see you again.
