Staying in Letizia's B&B (Nausicaa's Room) with an Italian friend of mine was an absolute joy for both of us, and now that I am back in Denmark, I keep thinking about how it changed my attitude to staying in Rome (I have been in Rome many times for various reasons) and how it makes me want to come back and of course stay in Letizia's B&B again. Not only is the B&B situated in an interesting and extremely central residential neighbourhood, but it is also in itself very interesting: the rooms are artistically decorated, with taste and care for the details, and there is all you need and could ask for.
Letizia is a jewel. Her openness and readiness to impart information and good ideas made our stay perfect, as both my friend and I needed to see new things, off the usual tourist tracks.
Another "jewel in the crown" was the downstairs restaurant (one of two places for the included breakfast), LUMA, also warmly recommended by Letizia. If you do not go there for lunch and try one of their (homemade!) pastas (€ 5 only!!) with a glass of their excellent red wine, you'll be cheating yourself of an experience worth while even the Metro ride back and forth from Piazza del Popolo, if that's where you happen to be when hunger strikes at midday.
Mille grazie, Letizia, e un abbraccione da Vanda e Eva.
Arrivederci, la prossima volta con mio marito.
