Desiree is so kind and open and helpful and I love her kitty and her mother helped with the heavy bags on the way out! This was our last two nights in Rome before we started our epic journey home which took over 24 hours! I picked Desiree as all the post for her did include how helpful and kind she is and felt we needed it as Rome was the end of an over three week trip starting in Paris. First off we did feel, as we walked everywhere, that we got to get a beautiful feel of Rome. Of course it is an amazing place. The coliseum is close and we walked there on our first day and did not do a a tour that I can remember ( a little brain fog after arriving home and then not sleeping). Oh we did pay for a tour of the coliseum and just the neighborhoods around are wonderful near the coliseum. The next day we walked to St Peters and again got to see the city by foot and went a different way going and leaving St. Peters. I cannot say enough how wonderful and cozy our room was and the nice treats left in our room and so far the only airbnb person who made our bed and that was so lovely. Desiree kept in touch easily with us and always answered all our questions. Thank you!!! Having Desiree as a host made our experience unique and cozy in a very big city!
