Federica was warm and friendly, a great communicator who made me feel relaxed and at home straight away. I stayed with Federica for five nights and each morning looked forward to the delicious breakfast she prepared. Unfortunately I didn't end up attending one of her yoga classes. Rome was calling! As others have already said, the apartment is located in a suburb which is a convenient commute out of Rome's crazy centre, which meant you got more of a taste of living like and amongst the real Romans. Although the Mediterranean Coast is an equally easy commute in the opposite direction, as an Australian I wouldn't rave about them - but then we're spoiled!! Thanks Federica for being such a generous host. I really enjoyed our conversations and hope we can keep in touch.
