Our first day in Rome was very welcoming...Ilaria and her mother were both so helpful, suggesting places to eat and tips for getting around.
The location was ideal!!! We were so sleep deprived that first day, but because the coleseum, forum and Palatine Hill were so closeby, we were still able to get a quick nap in and go on a 3- hour tour!!! After a scrumptious dinner at Luzzi, we walked to the beautifully lit up Trevi Fountain and had some gelato on the way.
The next day before taking a train to Florence, we toured the Vatican and Sistene Chapel.
Would highly recommend this location, as the hosts were warm and very helpful.
