The Nest was more beautiful than the photos convey and it was my honour and privilege to have stayed in such a lovely and authentic, ancient building just a brief couple of minutes by foot from the Colosseum, and to have breakfast looking right at its partial view - truly majestic. It brought tears to my eyes when Eliza, the host’s assistant, first opened the balcony doors to that view, the quaint courtyard and Colosseum! Elena and Eliza were gracious in answering my questions. The home was spotless and i slept soundly in the bed. I had a lovely time for my first visit to Rome, due in very large part to Elena’s home and its convenient, lovely location - a memorable and pleasant stay I will treasure always.
