Lavinia's B and B's main quality is location easily reachable from the termini and close and walkable to the major downtown antiquity attractions like the Colosseum et cetera. She is one block from Santa Maria Novella and the street nearest her with shops and restaurants: Merulana, is a great area to walk and shop as well as eat in? We found some very good neighborhood restaurants. You have to check in at another location a few blocks away but I was prepared for this then you walk over to her apartment which is I believe on the sixth floor of the an apartment building. The room we got was a part of her household but it was quiet, large and comfortable with a small balcony. we had a more than adequate private bathroom with tub shower etc. we mixed some with her family but they were good about giving us lots of privacy. I only saw Lavinia once during the two nights of our visit but she was cheerful and friendly.
