We absolutely loved our stay at Desiree's. I highly recommend the Prati area to stay while you are in Rome. You will be by the BEST restaurants and it nice to be in the non touristy area. Get out of your comfort zone and experience the real Rome. Very close to the metro or within walking distance to all the sites. Start your day off with an espresso and croissant at the many places nearby, Bonchi pizza for lunch, then make a reservation at one of the many places nearby for dinner (Al Giardino Del Gatto E La Volpe, Antico Falcone) -- take the sunset Prati food tour --- all nearby! Desiree was always available for any questions before and during our visit. Simone showed us the place and was always available as well. They are both amazing! The place is the perfect vacation home. Beautiful terrance to hear the church bells and relax, extremely comfortable bed, very quiet, clean, big bathroom, on top floor with elevator if you need, everything we might need was there. Highly recommend Desiree's place!!!
