We visited Rome during Christmas to attend the Popes' Christmas Eve mass. When we arrived we were welcomed and shown around the place. I had asked beforehand about restaurants and markets open during the holiday. The host went the extra mile to have done research for us and provided me with a handy list. They also gave us a traditional treat gift for the holidays and has a baby Christmas trees in the home. It made our stay during the holidays fee like we were at home.
We truly enjoyed the hospitality and found the apartment enjoyable.
The host did let us know about a special way to open their front door with the key and we did have to try a few times but it was pretty easy after that.
Thank you for being so welcoming and your lovely place.
