Staying in Mauro's Apartment was the best pick we could make! The apartment is so charming and warm, everything works and it was super clean like in a hotel. The balcony is a mega plus of course! The neighbour hood is very cool and we were very happy to return to it after being all day in the busy center with all the rest of the tourists. We haven't really figured out the best way with the public transport but the subway station is quite close. There's really nice bars and places around, even just around the corner. We felt just like home immediately. If you are not keen on staying right in the center, this is the best place for an authentic stay in Rome!
