Maurizio made us feel very welcome, from our initial contacts right through arranging a taxi to the airport for us. He helped us find tour guides, and the apartment was exactly as it looked in the pictures. The beds and pillows were a tad hard for us, but we slept well nonetheless because (except for one morning the local dogs decided to put up a fuss) it was very peaceful and quiet with its own little garden, and the location right next to the Colosseum was absolutely fabulous. There was a farmers' market right around the corner; also a wonderful little store; a very friendly cafe that served great coffee, and helped us get taxis...I will absolutely be going back whenever I am able.
