Desiree is a wonderful host. Unfortunately we didn't meet her in person but her friend Patrizio welcomed us and showed us everything we needed to know about the apartment. He was fun and most helpful.
The apartment is charming and just as described. It is extremely well equipped. The terrace is a great plus and the remote controlled awning came in useful both for shelter from the hot sun and the odd shower of rain ! Overall, this was my fourth visit to Rome. It never disappoints and neither did Desiree's lovely apartment and her genuine care for the well being of her guests.
