What’s it like hosting for the gay community?

I’m totally in love with misterb&b’s mission: helping the gay community to travel safely and ensuring everyone can experience their pride. Plus, it’s always nice to help strangers explore your city and discover all the great things you can see and do in Rome!

Do you enjoy spending time hanging out with your guests?

When I can, I really enjoy that! It’s nice to have them stay with you and share the little daily life moments and introduce them to your friends. Sometimes we get along so well, our host/guest courtesy evolves into a new friendship. I’ve already had several guys back at my place in Rome, as friends, not as guests. And for this I have misterb&b to thank.

What interestin­g people have come to stay with you?

I’ve always had the chance to come across creative and fun people, eager travelers, restless explorers. Thanks to misterb&b, I’ve met so many different types of human beings from different corners of the world, surprising­ly enough with each of them I could always find something to share.

What’s your best memory of a guest?

They’re all special. Each guest left something: postcards, messages on the blackboard, presents for the house, and of course good memories. It might seem just random, but yeah. That’s how you get to be part each other’s life!

Have you ever had any strange requests from guys or any funny stories to share?

I had one guest who almost spent all his stay at home. I was kinda puzzled, because I mean this is Rome – there’s no place like it around the world! Maybe he already knew the city? Then again, why not stay inside? I love my apartment, too!

Finally, do you keep in touch with your guests after they’ve left?

I have kept in touch with a lot of guests, and definitely social networks help a lot. With some guests I have a strong and honest bond based on common interests. Other times, we’re nothing alike, but we just click nonetheles­s. Help create a welcoming world, share your city and earn extra money while creating lifelong memories and friendship­s. Become a misterb&b host.
