  Description

  hi everyone, we are a family of 4 living in Rome, pretty close to the city centre. Our house is located near a very nice park, 2 kms far from the Colosseum....Rome is Rome and what else could we say about it?
  Next year our son Michele, 17 years old, is moving for 6 months to Canada for his studies and his bedroom is going to be empty from the beginning of september to the second half of january.
  We are considering to host in those months and our daughter Anita, 12 years old, would be very happy to have a sort of companion.
  Obviously she goes to school from 8 am to 2 pm from monday to friday and in the weekends she's busy with her activities, mostly connected to horseriding.
  Other members of the family are Letizia (mum) and Diego (me) but we are just details
