I am a female American traveler. I traveled to Rome from Naples, Italy. Piera and her mother were EXCEPTIONALLY warm and caring. I felt like a family member. Piera always greeted you when you came back to her place after a long day of adventures. Piera provided plenty of information of what you need to do specifically for a woman traveling alone. When I left Rome, Piera gave me a bus ticket and took me to the bus station. She placed my suitcase in the bus and gave me a hug to say good bye. When do you get this kind of reception from an AirB&B hostess like Piera? If you are a woman traveling alone or with someone, you should attempt to get Piera's rooms, you would feel what I have felt. KUDOS to Piera !!!!
