It was so good to see Desiree again. She is such a lovely, warm friendly person who goes out of her way to make you feel like a good friend. Her flat is so convenient to the train station yet once you enter the oak doors it is like you are in a magic garden. Flowers, fountain and birds. Desiree keeps her flat so vert very clean and comfortable. She makes you feel at home and offers lots of tips to help you get around Rome like a local. It was extremely hot in Rome on August 8 so without air conditioning it was hard to sleep. I would definitely only stay with Desiree when I return. Thank you Desiree
