Mara is great! She is easygoing and always with a positive attitude. When I got there she had a map of the city ready for me, it is a small detail but I really appreciate it. She kept the house and the room very clean. The apartment is next to the Vatican museum (northeast side of the Vatican), which is great for Vatican related activities. This means that it is a bit far from the center of Rome though. If you are a good walker this should be no problem, but have this in mind. Also, the Ottaviano metro station is two blocks away.
