Leila and Ray were absolutely great hosts. Leila was very prompt and helpful with all communication before arrival. She was not able to meet me to let me and show me the apartment, but her husband Ray was there and in contact with me. He was very helpful and kind and told me everything I needed to know.

The place is pretty large, and in a great location. Walking distance to many of the main sights in old Rome, and well connected to transportation. The only minor difficulty I had was adjusting the shower water temperature (alternating very hot/cold), but that may have just been me. I have notified Leila to double check, just in case. There is not much natural light inside, so be careful to not get lulled into getting off to a slow start in the morning :-P

Leila and Ray went above and beyond in stocking the apartment with everything one needs: maps, walking tour guides, books, music, snacks, drinks, cookies, cereal, shampoos...everything! Makes you feel very welcome and well taken care of. Couldn't ask for more.

Thanks Leila and Ray! I only wish I had so many more days to be in Rome, so it is high on my list of places to return to as soon as I can.
