Nancy is a wonderful host, she made me immediately welcome and gave me a quick orientation tour of her home. Being on the top floor it is a quiet haven in the middle of bustling, noisy Rome! Her mother-tongue is English (she also speaks fluent Italian) so we had some wonderful conversations. She was always available to provide local tips on the best sights, restaurants, shopping etc; including some overlooked by the guidebooks. Nancy even provided some guidebooks and a big map for reference! Highly recommended!!!
