Valentina was an exceptional host despite being very busy with both her professional and volunteer work. We stayed in a small house in one of two private rooms each with their own baths and a shared kitchen. The house was one among several located behind a gated and walled off part of the street-- very private and secure. It is hard to believe such a beautiful, tranquil place existing in the middle of Rome. The only noise you will hear are the sounds of birds singing. Conveniently located in a residential area near transit, local shops, the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. Valentina provided us with a warm welcome, excellent recommendations and was a great help in getting us to the airport.
