In grid was a great host for our short trip to Rome. She sent us all the information we needed before we left--mainly a detailed map and directions--and was happily waiting for us when we arrived. Her house is a bit difficult to find--but dont worry, the man in the market across the street from her will tell you where she lives and which button to ring at her front door! Ingrid was also very helpful while we were there. We arrived starving from all of our travels and she quickly suggested a great place for an awesome pizza and showed us all of the main Rome sites on a large tourism map that she gave to us. She was also around to help us order an early morning cab, which was quite helpful when we didn't even have a phone to use! The apartment is in an awesome authentic part of town, absent of the huge tourist crowd, but on a Saturday night it is very noisy. However as people in our 20s, we were out and about in the commotion anyway. I would not recommend a weekend stay for those who prefer to retire early. Overall, I highly recommend staying with Ingrid--a pleasant and attentive woman who has a lot to share!
