Desiree was there to meet us when we arrived at her apartment, helped us with our luggage, and made us feel very welcome. She had all the tourist information organised for us and sat down and went through it all with us. Desiree wants everyone to have the best experience possible of her city. And she is kindness itself. She told us both the tourist and non tourist things to do and i know that our visit to Rome was greatly enhanced by her suggestions. She also made arrangements (like needing a taxi at 4.00am to get us to the airport! ) so much easier. The apartment was very conveniently located within easy walking distance of the Termini station for buses, Metro and train. Its location, with lovely courtyard, is like a little oasis in the midst of a bustling city and we loved it.
