Gian Paolo was the perfect host. He answered all my silly questions before we arrived, like whether there was a hairdryer, and met us at the apartment with us son when we arrived. He had lots of information leaflets and his own recommendations for shops, restaurants etc. He also gave us a map and showed us where we were on it. We were so close to everything, we didn't get a single bus or taxi, and the apartment was clean and as shown in pictures. Highly recommend this as a base for exploring Rome.
