Manuela and her family are very warm and welcoming - as well as the two cats. It was never too much trouble for Manuela to take time out of her very busy life to talk or help with directions and information. They invited me to eat with them one night which was over and above their obligation. It was more like staying with family than being a paying guest. Beautiful people. The laurel leaf liqueur provided me my first good sleep after a long flight! :)
The house is immaculate and I loved the decor. The room is comfortable, clean and warm with access to their garden which is a gem.
Once I mastered the transport it is very easy to get in and out of Rome. A short train ride to the main termini. Or about €15 in a taxi. NB: not all taxis take cards in Rome! Carry cash. Manuela's is close to a nice supermarket close to the train.
Thank you Manuela.. you have given me a very lovely memory of Roma!
