Our first ever trip to Rome was made all the more amazing by Emi's (and also her partner Giuliano's) warmth and hospitality. From personally taking us out to explore the neighbourhood on our first evening, to teaching us how to make proper Italian coffee, they went out of their way to make our visit as comfortable as possible. Absolutely wonderful people.

And the flat itself was the perfect base for us to explore Rome in all its splendour. Colosseum, Forum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Trastevere, even Vatican City - all easily walkable. For such a central location, it was surprisingly quiet too, so sleep was never a problem. All in all, a great experience. One that we'll remember for a long time.
