Or family of four (Mom, Dad, adult son and 7-ear old daughter) stayed with Paolo, Rafaella and Francesco (their 7-year old son) from June 18-23, 2015. This was a really fantastic stay with that extra dimension we were hoping for by staying with a family. Paolo was very accommodating in communications prior to our arrival making suggestions to make our landing and transport to the apartment as easy as possible. He phoned us while we were walking to the apartment as he was waiting for us and didn't want to miss us. We met at the door and he showed us in and made sure we were settled before departing. The apartment is accurately shown in his photos with 2 large bedrooms, bath and dining area. The family was able to open a hallway door so that we shared space when we wanted and they could close off the door giving themselves and us privacy when necessary. We had a separate entrance so we were assured we would not disturb them when returning home late. Paolo fixed us generous breakfasts every morning and one evening Rafaella made home made pizza with the kids after plans for an outing fizzled due to rain. Our 7 year old daughter was able to share Francesco's toys and room for play time and the kids romped around oblivious of the language barrier between them. We were made to feel as members of an extended family throughout our stay and would highly recommend our hosts for future stays. The Via Veneto area is residential and feels a little more frequented by locals than other more touristed parts of the city. The street noise is ever present if that's something that may be bothersome but we were not too bothered by it. Not to be missed in Come Il Latte-- the most fantastic gelateria just around the corner! if interacting with a local family and having a spacious landing spot while touring Rome is important to you-- this homestay is stellar!
