We so enjoyed our stay at Maison Garbatella. Our family of 5 was warmly greeted by Andrea and his wife. They spoke very good english. We immediately felt at home in the cozy apartment. They oriented us to the area, provided maps (of Rome and of the metro). They also gave us a bottle of wine and some staples for cooking. We easily accessed the metro and saw the sites of Rome. In the evenings we enjoyed the peace, quiet and air conditioning! Andrea was quick to come to our aid when a neighbor became upset about something. For those who plan to cook, there is a grocery store literally around the corner. This was most convenient for us. Grazie Tante Andrea!!
