Lauro made my husband and I feel welcome in Rome and welocked us upon arrival. The room is clean and there is a private bathroom. (Lauro even tidied up the room after we left each day so that we returned to a made bed and clean bathroom.) His home is 10 minutes from the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica and it was a great launching point for our daily adventures. We felt very safe walking around at night and it was nice to stay away from the hoards of tourists. The breakfast consists of a packaged baked good, freshly made coffee, and toast and is served on the patio. This was a nice way to start each morning and we thoroughly enjoyed our early morning discussions!
