We can entirely recommend this apartment! Gian Paolo has been very friendly and communicative all the time. When I had issues booking the apartment he has been supportive and patient. When we arrived at the apartment in Rome, he welcomed us personnaly, showed us the apartment, explained everything and thus let us feel comfortable from the very beginning of our stay. The apartment itself is exactly like on the photos. The living room with the open kitchen is really nice and has windows to the wunderful via Urbana, which is a lively little street with a lot of bars, restaurants and little unique shops. If you want, you can cook in the kitchen. It's equiped with everything you need. The entire area is very lively, a bit alternative (which we liked very much!) and not so touristic, although the colosseum is only a few minutes away. At the corner at "Monti" I had the best cafe latte ever! We decided to get tickets for one of the hop on-hop off sightseeing buses and had a stop just two blocks away. Like this we could easily get around for 48 hours. Rome is a wonderful city. Besides all of the wonderful old buildings and places, we were totally flashed by the colosseum and went there early in the morning when it's not so crowded and when the building is so pretty lightend by the sun. Another highlight was our walk from the Vatican to Trastevere with an amazing view over Rome. Due to an unforeseen change of our flight schedule, we had to leave a bit unexpected and in a hurry. Again, Gian Paolo was very helpful and supportive. He arranged a taxi for us, so that we got to the airport in time. Thanks to Gian Paolo we had a great stay in this wonderful city and can truly recommend him as a host!
