Rosaria's home was spectacular. We stayed in 3 places in Italy for multiple days. This was the loveliest apartment by far. I liked being away from the hustle and crowds of the historic district. We chose not to use public transportation as the taxis were around $15 to get anywhere in the city. Rosaria was a very attentive host. She has limited English, but more than my Italian! But, she is very competent in using G00gle Translate. I'd use it to send her questions in Italian from G00gle Translate, then she would use it to reply back in English. Rosaria also called taxis for us several times which was very kind. Mr. Peabody the duck was very cute too!
