Federica was a lovely and extremely gracious host. I had to arrive very late in the evening (not arriving to Federica's until after 130am) and she waited up for me, helped me carry in my suitcase, and ensured I had everything I needed.

The room is exactly as it looks on the listing - both a good size and has a large closet, with a private bathroom directly across the hall. And the Porta Romana neighbourhood is very charming (was the envy of my coworkers). The flat is one block away from major transit lines and multiple coffee shops, and an easy 15-20 minute walk from the Duomo. The bar across the street was a little bit loud on Saturday night, but not a problem with the window closed (and nothing out of the ordinary for anyone who lives downtown).

Federica's mother was a lovely, quite and contentious host, and Thor was adorable. I am happy to have meet them all, I would stay here again, and would happily recommend it to others.
