Teresa was kind enough to have her son wait up for us as we arrived at 3 AM. He made us feel welcome from the beginning.

The room was not just acceptable, it was fantastic. I wanted to take it home. We had our own bathroom with shower. Our bedroom was up a spiral staircase that gave our daughter privacy from us.

Teresa was kind enough to show us her home, which was built between the 1600 to 1700s. It was out of a movie. The ceilings were 16 feet tall; some had carvings on them. The actual ceiling in some places were embedded with a three-dimensional pattern. This home was so elegant that I faded into a delusion that I had gone back in time to a previous century.

The elegance of Teresa's home was exceeded only by the graciousness both her's and her husband's. Truthfully, I didn't want to leave. Meeting Teresa and her husband was as enjoyable as anything else we did on our stay in Rome.

And location! Minutes from the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain and and reasonable walk to anything else you'd want to see. We never needed public transportation but once, and the metro was close by.
