The location of Manola's apartment is great. Close enough to the Termini station, close to a supermarket, and walking distance to the attractions. The Spanish Steps are pretty much just up the street!
Manola was out of town when we were there so we didn't get to meet her, we checked in with Mabel, the cleaning lady, who was very nice and explained everything. Manola was very responsive with emails before and during our stay so her being out if town wasn't a problem at all.
Best part if the stay: the espresso machine! The kitchen is little but we were not cooking anything fancy so it worked out for us and it had everything we needed. The bathroom however is very spacious.
The only problem we ran into was finding some ants. Mostly in the bathroom, so it wasn't a huge problem, and a few here and there in the kitchen, so we had to be super careful about not leaving any foods out without wrapping them really good. Apparently it happens in Rome in the summer, Manola said it was because of the heat. That was definitely not a cleanliness issue as the apartment was very clean.
Overall, we had a very good experience at Manola's place!
