     During your semester in Rome it is very likely you'll have parents, friends, and relatives who want to come and visit and be shown around by you- expert on everything Roman.  Rome is a big city with many many hotels to choose from.  La Magia can help with choosing a hotel, hostel, or pensione for your guests.  Better yet, if during your semester there is availability, we may be able to host your guests in LMI housing.  Please ask about availability at least two weeks before the arrival of your guest.  Once availability is confirmed, a deposit will be required to hold the space.  Single and double rooms generally go for  50 euro per person per night.  If in the case an apartment is available cost will be determined on location and length of stay.  Though La Magia does not offer hotel services, we can offer apartments and/or rooms in the historical center of Rome for the convenience of you and your guests.
