Barbara is an incredibly friendly woman and a warm host. The home is cozy and inviting, and we enjoyed our stay. Just one thing to note before booking: if you are bound by public transportation during your stay in Rome, the home is around 30-35 minutes by bus and metro to the city. Generally, we took a bus to a metro stop, and then one or two metros after that depending on our destination. Transit can be fairly easy to navigate, and is quite cheap. Barbara was also very helpful informing us of the pass we needed for our week long stay.
