Mario met us at the Metro with Alba and they helped us bring our heavy luggage to the apartment. They were so helpful and pleasant and made us feel welcome. We feel like we have know him for years. The apartment is lovely and displays Mario's artwork and is stocked with wonderful books. The refrigerator was stocked with eggs, meat & cheese,fresh fruit, milk & juice. Also, there was cereal and many breakfast goodies. Mario gifted us with a lovely bottle of wine. The bed was the most comfortable we slept in during this 4 week vacation of ours. We would stay there again if we ever get to Rome again and highly recommend staying in this lovely apartment. Irene & Ron Corn
