Ms. Mari's place is a great little home base for any extended stay in Rome.
Pros:
-Tucked away on the outer side of the city without being too far from attractions and young/night life.
-There are tons of charming details about the place: Mini-golf green carpet upstairs, huge mirror in the foyer, umbrellas, comfy bed, plenty of essentials, and the list goes on.
-Hands off host. She gives you the details on the place and lets you be afterwards with a flexible check out time, which we greatly appreciated.
Cons:
-Some of the modern additions to the place seem to have their own way of living. The wifi and water heater were a bit of a trick to figure out.
-You WILL forget to turn off something and trigger the breaker at least once, don't panic, it's alright. Even if you walk down the street in a towel to flip the breaker back on.
-Watch your head. The upstairs is a bit short, at 6' I had to crouch over to get around. And hit my head on the archway more than a few times.
-The dog upstairs hates you sleeping. Especially at 3am.
Don't let any of this scare you away, Ms. Mari is a wonderful person and her place really is a perfect spot to stay while doing things around the city. Keep it clean and mind the appliances' temper and you'll have no issues. 8/10; would recommend. :)
