Claire Metcalf
“The concept is great，but the staff are the ones who really make it．”she says．“It takes a lot of discipline to always be friendly，but the staff at Staybridge Suites do that．They genuinely care about you．”
Andrew Roberts
“One of the best things is having my own kitchen．I often end up working late and I don’t fancy(喜欢) eating in a restaurant on my own，so cooking for myself is a big drawcard．”
“The main thing for me is being able to cook and have my own little flat．The staff are amazing．It is great to be recognized by them，”he says．
Pauline Robinson
“What I love about it is the way that you are treated by the staff,”she says．“Some of the staff have been there all that time and they do look after you well．As a woman staying on my own，it is reassuring that they look out for you，and recently when I was poorly depressed they even brought things I needed to my room．”
Ryan Ruckledge
“The fully-equipped kitchen is great．I always have a one-bed apartment so I have a separate kitchen and dining room and I’m able to relax and cook some meals．Eating out can feel a bit much when you do it day in and day out—it makes you hate what you do—and I don’t want that．”

Most travelers face the language difficulty in Italy nowadays.1.There are a few things that you should know before you step out of the airport.
There's no such thing as "Italian food".
In Italy each area has its own personality,its own dialect,and its own food.2.Get to know what's Produced locally and what's in season,and you'll be eating the freshest and best of what that area has to offer.
3.
Most Italians pay for things on a day-to-day basis with cash from their morning coffee to dinner.Those of you who have grown used to paying for milk and bread at the grocery store with a card find it very difficult to travel.
The waiter isn't being rude when he leaves you alone to eat.
In Italy,after your meal is served,you may not see the waiter at your table again until it's time to clear your plates.This is not the waiter being rude.4.
An empty restaurant doesn't mean the place is bad.
Many times I've gone into restaurants in Italy at what I thought was dinner time only to find the place nearly empty.5.The dinner hour in many cities doesn't start until at least 8 pm.Many restaurants in bigger cities and towns will be open earlier than that,but the earlier opening time isn't for the locals.It's for visitors.
A.Cash is king in Italy.
B.Trains are always late in Italy.
C.Later,I learned Italians eat late.
D.If so,traveling to Italy can be an attractive experience.
E.However,it's still a very easy and comfortable country to visit.
F.This is the waiter letting you enjoy your meal as long as you want.
G.It's a shock to those of you who think you've already known what Italian food is.
