Gianluca was the perfect host. He greeted us at a temporary parking spot next to the flat (hard to find in Rome!), helped us with luggage and when we walked in to the flat (1st floor-very helpful with lots of luggage) we immediately felt right at home. He had put out a bottle of wine with glasses and home made bread for our breakfast the next day. Then, he even rode with me part way to the airport to be sure I was able to make the deadline for turning in the rental car. Really excellent host! The flat is in Trastevere-beautiful location, right around the corner from excellent, inexpensive restaurants and the #8 tram line. The tram got us to all of our destinations in the center of the city. From there we easily caught a bus or walked everywhere. Vatican City is a 25 minute walk from the flat along the Tiber. Ginaluca had prepared a booklet showing all the conveniences, sights and restaurants near the flat. Again, VERY helpful. At the end of our stay he found a driver to take us to the airport with our bags for much less than a conventional transport would have been. His "Heart of Trastevere" flat is warm, cozy and perfectly located. Anyone would be lucky to get this place for their stay in Rome.
