    Description

    In Rome I live with Tosca, a half-sized 3-4 year old crossbreed in a spacious villa with a garden in a secure compound; just a few minutes' walk from the "metro A" to the city center and the airport shuttle bus. The bright guest attic is semi-independent and has its own bedroom with tv & wifi and bathroom with shower and sun terrace: it is available for 1 person (preferably a woman). We are well connected and located close to the Vatican City, where there are busses & tube, parks, bars, supermarkets, restaurants, pizzeria, pharmacy, hospital, etc.
    My loved dog is well behaved, balanced and a bit fearful, she needs to get to know her dog-sitter in order to trust him/her.
    Unfortunately we are allergic to cats, but used to active cultural exchanges such as daily interaction (with many au-pair until now), who became part of our family and are still very good friends of us.
