Maristella is wonderful! So good about answering dozens of questions before we got there and then so kind after we arrived. Her house is great for a large group. There are 4 nice sized bedrooms with double beds and each have a nice bathroom attached. We also rented the studio next door which was great for the 2 singles traveling with us. The thing that we really enjoyed was that the living/dining area and porch were a good gathering place at the end of the day. The apartments were clean and she had food for us when we arrived. I think her notes about what to do around Rome were very helpful. The bus is just down the set of steps next to the apartment building. We aren’t used to public transportation where we live so we had a larger learning curve than most would. Google maps was our friend. We put in destination and chose bus option and it told us which buses to take to get to our destination. We used taxis at first and paid about 14€ to Termini and 10€ to downtown but figured out buses get you there almost as quickly and much less expensive. We were very glad we chose this place and Maristella as our host.
