Maria Cecilia is a very gracious host. She has a lovely home that is extremely well-located for Vatican City (right down the street), our primary interest in visiting Rome. The property is in excellent condition and well secured. In addition to her individual apartment, the entrance to the building is locked and entry to the grounds is secure (locked gate). She made us feel very welcome and comfortable. She set out small sample toiletries and pretty decorative items that made us feel pampered. The room and bathroom are very spacious and well-equipped (large, fluffy towels). She helped us arrange taxis from the airport and back to the train station (arriving/departing). Each morning she provided a splendid, breakfast - homemade items, a variety of foods and beverages to choose from, a very elegant and healthy start for our day. She even accommodated my dietary needs (dairy allergy) which was more than I expected. We LOVED our stay! Thank you Maria Cecilia!! You go above and beyond expectations! We appreciate all you did to make our visit memorable.
