THere is a great B&B and apartment booking service in Rome, Florence and Venice. It is www.cross-pollinate.com It is owned and operated by an American couple living in Rome. You can usually stay cheaper in a B&B or apartment through their website and it's much better than a hotel. Check them out, I have used them many times and they are great. They are also in Ricks Steves book on Italy. They also run a wonderful hotel/hostel near the Termini train station in Rome called the Beehive. Once you stay with them you will never want to stay anywhere else in Rome, Venice or Florence.

Dear Mark:
Where were you LAST WEEK when I could have used this?!?!?!
Just kidding, but I wish I had known about this before I put deposits on all of my apartments in Rome and Venice. I took a quick look, and the prices are very good.
I'll save this link for my next trip...

Mark!!!! Grazie mille!!! This was a fantastic tip! I had been searching around for a convent stay in September but not having much luck getting reservations...or anything in the city center for a decent price. As a solo traveler, I'm really happy with what they have on this website! I requested a reservation. Thank you!

Hi Mark,
We booked two of three rooms at Moretti House using cross pollinate.com......have you or anyone you know stayed there...it's right next to Termini Station...and was wondering if that's a mistake!!
