I've booked a flat in Rome, but had to cancel my trip last moment.  It's a very nice place (I've stayed there before),  close to the station, and Colliseum yet very quiet, A/C available, one bed room with double-bed, and a living area with a big sofa. Please let me know if you are interested, I'll arrange it with the owners (will help me avoid cancellation fee, but also feel bad for the owner who've been very nice and kept this flat for me without any deposts).

Also, have opera tickets ordered via www.classictic.com (although need to check if names can be changed):

1) 2 tickets for Virtuosi dell'opera di Roma: La Traviata on 03.Apr.12 / Start Time: 20:30 / Venue: Teatro Salone Margherita/ Street: Via dei Due Macelli 75

2) 2 tickets for I Musici Veneziani: Grand Lyrical Concert for Easter on 04.Apr.12
Start Time: 20:30 (08:30 PM) / Venue: Chiesa Metodista d'Italia, Main Hall / Street: Via Firenze, 38 (angolo Via 20 Settembre)

Thanks. Gaini
