You cannot beat this location! The only 2 places we had to use public transportation or Uber/taxi to get to was The Vatican and the airport. Other than that, we could walk everywhere and felt safe at all times. Sylvana and Maria were both very helpful from checkin to checkout and even let us come in a little early so my sister could lay down as she was feeling sick. They showed concern and checked on her throughout our stay. The ride that Maria/Sylvana arranged to and from the airport was a game changer for us since it was our first time to travel internationally. The drivers were prompt (even early) to pick us up which made for a smooth arrival and departure. Maria’s place is very nice and clean. I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the pullout sofa bed was. Our only complaint would be that the shower is very small and hot water is brief but we made it work and I think that may be a cultural difference we are just not used to. Us Americans take long hot showers! 😁 I would recommend Maria’s place if you are visiting Rome. You will feel at home and welcomed the second you arrive!
