12 day stay in Roma with 2 kids aged 6 & 9 - Leila Marie's home was perfect! Amazing location on a quiet street, short walk to the Forum, Palatine Hill and Colosseum. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Leila's husband, who had a gift of Christmas cake and wine for us - I must also say that the kitchen was stocked with supplies to last our first day or so, until we found our way to the grocery store. The fresh clementines, coffee, milk, bread, butter and jams were so appreciated!
Leila's home was a perfect size for 3- There was a large bed for two and a pull out chair-bed. Leila was so very accommodating and provided us with a cot as well, so that when my husband joined us for our final 2 nights, we had sleeping arrangements for all. We found all very suitable and slept well.
We were also able to do laundry - a great help for a long stay with kids! Note that the wifi was good enough for us for maps, email, trip planning, etc. but not stable/fast enough for FaceTime or streaming video. Not a problem for us, but may be good to know. Whenever we had questions, Leila was quick to respond - and even allowed us to store our suitcases for our last day. Leila is a great host, and we loved our stay in her Roma home. We hope to come back someday!
