I can not think of a better host than Ilaria! She gave great directions from the train station to her place and once we arrived she sat us down with a map of Rome and spent several minutes recommending different places to eat, different itineraries and the best transportation methods. Everything was extremely helpful. The room was extremely nice and she made coffee and breakfast for us each morning. I would highly recommend staying with Ilaria and would stay with her again in a heart beat if I'm back in Rome!
