Look no further in you search for a home away from home...Wanderlust Home is the place to be! If it is available when you are in town, book it! Do not hesitate! There are so many reasons why!
Chiara is perfect! She is the #1 reason to stay here! You will not find a more attentive, genuine host in Italy! She arranged our transportation from the airport and met us at the door the minute we arrived. Her sweet smile and charming personality welcomed us immediately! She went above and beyond in telling us all about the home when we got there. She gave us wonderful hints, tips and suggestions the entire time we were there. She came over and cooked the most delicious, authentic Italian meal with us and we were able to share her company for most of the afternoon. She provided plenty of yummy breakfast treats, juices, yogurt and snacks for stay. She got me hooked on Taralli and even provided more so I would not run out during our stay and had a few to talk home with me. I cannot say enough about Chiara. She is a GEM and you WILL make a new friend. We feel luck to know her and call her our friend!
The home is perfect! It is so clean and very stylish! We loved coming back each night after a day of exploring the city to relax. Each drawer and cabinet has everything you will need for your stay! I was truly amazed at everything she has thought of! Plenty of towels, dish soap, dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent. You name it, she had it.
The location is perfect! It really is steps from the Metro, which takes you everywhere in a matter of minutes. Chiara explained how to use it, and it really was as easy as she said. Her home is also just steps away from the Vatican! We walked there many times and it was so nice to be close, as it made seeing the Pope so easy! That was one highlight of my time there. You really can walk up to a Swiss Guard on Tuesday after 3pm and politely ask for a few tickets. They gladly provide them (free) and give a brief explanation of what to expect. On Wednesday morning, walk over to the Vatican around 8:15 am and pick a seat. The Papal Audience is something you should not miss! And being so close in Chiara's home made it so easy to go! The numerous restaurants near her home were so convenient, less crowded, and cheaper than in the city center. And they were, by far, the yummiest! Try Bonci pizza that is right down the street. It is fabulous! Our all time favorite restaurant was Osteria Delle Commari. It is a MUST! You can walk and they have pasta that is made fresh on site! The fried artichoke was to die for! Chiara will explain all the best places to eat near her home from pizzarias, to bakeries, to pasta places.
Thank you, Chiara, for your genuine hospitality and looking out for our every need! We will be back to see you soon! Much love, The Fielding Family
