Fernando is one of the wonders of Rome himself! We were travelling to Rome as a family for the first time, in the height and the heat of the season. He arranged for a taxi to meet us at arrivals and brought us to the door, where he was waiting to meet us. He had provided ingredients for a pasta meal, plus a cold beer, milk and juice, and carefully talked us through everything we needed to know to see the best of Rome in a short time, safely. The apartment was beautiful and spotless with everything we needed, including a cute children's room. Bus, train, metro and walking the sights are all easy from the door; a really marvellous base to see this incredible city (without getting overwhelmed). Thank you Fernando.
