If you choose to stay at Maria-Luisa's place you will not regret it; one of the best I have ever stayed at. The apartment was located right next to the Vatican, which was perfect for our early morning tour. it was easy enough to walk to some of the other main attractions, but there is also public transportation nearby. It is located on the first floor, but there is an elevator to help with luggage or for anyone who may have a difficult time with stairs. The apartment well exceeded our expectations. It had plenty of room to stretch out in and be very comfortable; several areas to sit and plan our day out in. The apartment had just about anything you could want, including cookware and even umbrellas should you need them. Maria-Luisa was wonderful in working with us as we ended up getting in late due to missing a flight. She was incredibly helpful in showing us how everything in the apartment worked and giving us tips for things to do and how to get around, including to/from the airport. She even had water in the fridge, which was an amazing treat as we were super hot and parched from traveling. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Maria-Luisa! I will definitely stay here again if I come back to Rome.
