This was a phenomenal stay! We’d not planned to return to Rome, but now we feel that we are friends with Ernesto & Paola, Valentina, & Nona. As my 18-year-old daughter said “We *must* come back!” The connection with them made the stay memorable, because we wanted to get to know them. There were other guests who didn’t interact so much, so each guest gets to choose what they like as far as interaction.
A good example of the great service that was so enjoyable to us was when we needed a new suitcase (failed zipper). Ernesto walked us to a tiny, neighborhood store, and then negotiated a special price for us below what we’d agreed to pay. (Nice surprise.). And then we wanted to go to what we would call a grocery store: so charming & fascinating. Of course, we were in Rome to see the big sights, and the view and location of My Bed Vatican Museum was perfect! Easy and beautiful walks to Vatican, San Pietro, Borgo Pio, Castle San Angelo, Ancient Rome. Quiet & so comfortable at night for peaceful sleeping, great restaurant referrals. Especially for Americans & Canadians, you will be delighted by the kindness & hospitality, the humorous customs, the Italian exclamations of “Mama Mia!”. In my opinion, this type of interaction with the locals is the most fun & delightful part of the entire trip.
