Our first Roman trip was truly made memorable by the hospitality extended by Valentina. Her house, the Green House Colosseo was exactly as how it was photographed in the site plus all that was reviewed previously. But seeing it before our eyes was something so remarkable that my children and I couldn't help but say it was like a second home. I especially liked the lemon tree in front of our house. It complemented the chirping of the birds in the morning outside our window! It was so safe within that area!
Valentina was there to meet us as we got in and even took us around to show us the nearest grocery, best gelato and best bread. She told us where to eat and take the metro to avoid the much too busy termini.
She cooked for us the best welcome Roman dinner! (Ur not only a good actress but a good cook as well, Valentina!)
Her house was right next to us, but we had everything we needed in the green house Colosseo that we didn't even have to bother her. However she offered to wash our clothes during the May 1 holiday! She's truly an amazing host!
Green house was in the middle of everything that we can always take a detour home when our much aching feet were busy treading the tourist spots all over. It was so near the Colosseo (5 minute walk) and the Cavour metro (also 5 minute walk but take note of the almost 100 step staircase going up her street). It was just too perfect for us!
Thanks for preparing the house so cleanly and for opening your doors to airbnb. Your hospitality, impeccable taste and cleanliness give much credibility to airbnb and it's partners! Thank you so much again Valentina!
Thank you Airbnb!
