Esmeralda is gracious, friendly, kind, helpful, respectful, accommodating, generous, and every other positive adjective in the book. We had many enjoyable conversations and got to know each other very well. As a traveler who loves open and honest communication, Esmeralda was the perfect host. She, too, prefers to dive deep and skip the casual small talk.

The apartment is fantastic. Very private, very quiet, very clean, excellent location, easy access, and an awesome cat named Orfeo that kept me company when I needed someone to lay low with. There were zero problems.

I spent a month at Esmeralda's and it felt like I was staying with a good friend from the moment I arrived. By the end, it was quite difficult to say good-bye.

I would highly recommend Esmeralda to anyone who wants a lovely travel experience in Rome.
