We enjoyed staying at Xuiping’s place in Rome – we arrived by train from Florence and departed for the airport the next day, also from Termini, so it was in a good location for us, at the quieter end of a hectic street typical of station surroundings. Space is relatively small but has been maximised by the host to incorporate a cosy and comfortable wooden bed deck and bathroom below that, though small, allowed me, though tall, to enjoy a morning shower. Breakfast from 8-9am consisted of coffee, bread and salami, with our host happy to talk a little Italian and teach my partner (whose first language is Spanish) some Chinese words. A great place for a short stop; communication beforehand was excellent and we were given a friendly goodbye.
