Maria's place was so cute, welcoming, and comfortable - once you climbed the many many stairs to reach the place. The location has a great view and is close to the Vatican, but it is definitely NOT a touristy location (should definitely check out the pizzeria right across the via). The air conditioning is amazing to have on a hot night, but it is worth noting that it is very loud on and off. The beds were very comfortable, we all got a great nights rest. The check in process is also very fun. Overall, if you are not looking for a place that you can walk to the main Rome attractions, this is a great option.
