That’s anywhere in Rome

My first trip to Rome I stayed at an Airbnb a bit away from the main attractions. Being a tourist in that part of town was a bit of a novelty - the locals were genuinely (mildly) surprised. It was nice to be away from the bustle of those main areas too.

This sounds lovely.

It was! The Airbnb owners were a young engaged couple, I was their second guest ever. I had a birthday while I was there and they made me a cake. It was a really special trip and even though I was a bit disappointed at first to be so far from all the sights it kind of made it a bit special.

I was there in 03 for a HS trip, it was a different time. It was wild to stay in waht was concidered hotels.

You didn’t go there for English classes, did you?

Went to Rome a few years back. We walked away from the tourist areas and really enjoyed it. Much quieter and no people trying to sell you shit.

There's also genuine interest in where you're from, at least from some people.

It’s kinda their fault. I mean, every road does take you there.
