Desiree's place was BEAUTIFUL and the bed was so comfortable. The pictures do not do it justice. I felt like a queen in this bedroom, from the amazing art all over the walls to the incredible wood furniture, high ceilings, and the chandelier above us. And hosts do not get any better than Desiree! She laid out an amazing map and welcome packet for us with the top attractions in Rome and her personal favorite restaurants/bars near them or in those neighborhoods. We were in Rome for a short time, and we took 2 of her restaurant suggestions-- and wow!! The meals were incredible and inexpensive. Plus she bought us pastries from her favorite pastry shop for breakfast on our last morning, which were delicious. She was so sweet, and we loved our stay with her, though it was brief.
