Maribel is very kind and helpful. We were a bit earlier than the check-in time which was no problem. The welcome was very warm and she gave us a lot of tips. There are maps of the city you can take with you. We were staying in the apartment for 8 days and enjoyed it very much.
Up front we hadn't realized it was a shared apartment, but in the end it was no problem. The airco made a lot of noise in one of the rooms (more than normal) and some of the beds could be of better quality. But other than that it was an amazing trip an a lovely stay!
Maribel offers house-keeping to keep the apartment nice and clean every day (all free). The bus in front of the house takes you in 20 minutes straight into the city centre and the metro is 10 minutes away by foot. Overall we can recommend staying in the shared apartment of Maribel to explore Rome!
