We felt very welcome. From the special driver picking us up at Rome International arrivals and transporting us to the front door of our Italian pensione, we had the in town locals treatment.
The apartment is in an excellent location, very clean and nice. Comfy bed and linens in the loft like bedroom. This is a unique tucked away ground level apartment in a side street of cobblestones. There are cafe's and trattoria's nearby. We walked to the Vatican, Pantheon, and Trevi Fountain.
This is ancient Rome so de-Americanize your expectations.
Thank you Hosts!
