Have you ever dreamed that you had a kind, generous, lovely Italian grandmother with a charming apartment in Rome? Someone who was an encyclopedia of knowledge about art, architecture, history, Italy, travel, and the world - and truly cared for your well-being? Dream no longer, because this person is Beatrice (prounced "Beatri-che" in the Italian way).

The apartment is in an excellent location -- 5 minutes walk from the central Termini railway station. Excellent jumping point for day-trips to Florence or Naples on the high-speed train. Very clean. Exquisitely decorated with fine art and antiques, very vintage. Beatrice is an award-winning interior decorator. My room, "La Media", has a beautiful street-facing balcony. Fast wifi and clean bathrooms.

Breakfast every day was a feast: fresh cut fruits, numerous cheeses, crepes, eggs, juice, Italian coffee -- perfect fuel for sight-seeing. Plus, Beatrice gives you amazing insider tips on Rome and Italy. If you're lucky and catch her at the right time, she might invite you to enjoy dinner with her.

I loved this experience so much that I came back for several more days! Beatrice also has a lovely properly in Greece, which I'm also planning to check out.

This experience melted all my stress away. I would definitely stay here again!
