Kurt was an amazing host! We communicated long before my trip, in order to make it a smooth transition. I have to credit him for introducing me to WhatsApp, which I now use all the time. He told me how to figure out the train system to the house, and asked me what food I wanted stocked and planned ahead to make my arrival comfortable. I easily found the apartment, and Kurt was there to greet me, show me the place, provide a stocked fridge, and we had a wonderful conversation when I arrived. The apartment was wonderful, just like the pictures, comfortable, and I loved the restaurants and stores in the neighborhood, perfect for light shopping and meals on the go. I had a great week in Rome, and Kurt's place was the perfect base for my exploration. It was a great place for down time after walking so much through all the sites in Rome. Kurt kept in touch the whole time to make sure I was doing well, providing suggestions for sites to see, and more, so that was helpful to have a contact who I could ask questions. Kurt is an amazing host and definitely contributed to making my trip fabulous. I would love to return and to keep in touch with Kurt.
