I absolutely loved staying with Barbara! We had such a fantastic stay in Rome and having a room in Barbara's apartment made it perfect. Barbara is a wonderful host, she made us feel right at home and we'd always have a good chat when we saw her in the evenings. Barbara's dog, Poldo, is adorable - I'm very much missing him! The apartment is very homely and the room is very spacious with a comfortable bed (possibly memory foam?) Barbara is a brilliant host - she made us laugh, offered help if we needed anything and gave us lots of tips and cost effective ways of getting around the city and seeing things. I would definitely recommend staying with Barbara and Poldo, and if we're ever in Rome again we won't think twice about booking again!
