I booked my accommodation with David 3 weeks before my arrival and
I can honestly say we bacame pen friends over the time before I came to Rome. It was basically because of his self presentation why I wanted to stay with him, and I was not let down.
Over my 11 day stay we dined, drank wine, ate gelati together, had many conversations and went to the beach and park as well. Frankly, we became friends.
That was a great experience I had in his home city, and it wouldn´t be as good if it weren´t for him.
David was very helpful when it came to giving me directions to get to his flat, and made me feel really comfortable and at home. His place is very clean, to which he tends on usually a daily basis, has everything you may need staying for almost 2 weeks, and is perfectly located. Close enough to anywhere you want to go, yet not in an overcrowded neighbourhood. I lived like a local there :).

I recommend David to anyone who would like to stay in Rome, and who is so communicative to want to interact with his host much. I hope David enjoyed my company as well and I was not bothering him too much, since at some point I got a bit too lazy to do the touristic stuff and stayed in the neighbourhood most of time.

Great time I had, hope I can repeat it next year with David again! All the best, and hope to see you in Scotland some time soon, David! :)
