In the days leading up to our trip, Theresa was very helpful in answering all of my questions. Theresa was very flexible with the check-in time. She allowed us to drop our bags off when we arrived around 11am so that we could explore the city. When we arrived, Theresa, her husband Alessandro, and their son Carlo welcomed us with coffee and circled several places on a map that we might be interested in going to (We did follow many of these recommendations, which led us to some amazing meals!) Theresa and her family are some of the kindest people we have ever met. My boyfriend and I agreed that staying with an Italian family in Rome was one of the most special parts of our trip to Italy, and helped us experience Rome in a more authentic way. They have two brother cats, Macchia and Senzemacchia, who are extremely well behaved and very sweet :) As a cat lover, I let them into our room and played with them. Theresa even let us bring one of them up to the roof! Each morning Theresa had breakfast ready at the time of our choosing-- warm croissants, coffee, yogurt, and milk. On the last morning Carlo made croissants for us which were delicious! :) The room and the private bathroom were very clean and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. We walked everywhere except for the Vatican which is far from basically everything, and the train station because of our luggage. I HIGHLY recommend booking this place! We are thankful to have met Theresa and her family and will never forget this experience :)
