Laura is lovely and has a really passion for entertaining, her house is seldom empty. From friends to her daughter and grandson over for lunch it has a real Italian vibe. Laura is also very willing to teach whomever Italian, she is very clever and has a strong personality and would make an excellent teacher. Laura is also a master in her kitchen, often leaving meals for me to have after many of her gatherings with friends. Guests should be aware that her kitchen is small and often being used by Laura so there is not much space for guests to cook. She also has a very opinionated elderly cat, who makes himself known with his loud meowing! Guests should be aware that Laura works out of her house and she talks on the phone endlessly during the daytime, and if you need a calm and quiet space this might not be a good fit for you. Its located in a wealthy area but not busy, and the Flamino station is just one stop away on the train. Be warned, its nice to have a bathroom to yourself, but this one is very small and the hot water lasts around 5 minutes! I enjoyed my time with Laura, it was like staying with my own aunty.
