Mauro’s apartment felt like home for us, for a week, over New Years! Mauro was an outstanding host and offered us so much of his time and even invited us to his New Years Eve Party! His cat is very lovely, although, we cannot remember his Spanish name! The balcony is lovely to sit out on, even in the freezing cold, and listen to the hussle and busle of Rome! The apartment is just far enough away from the big tourist attractions that you can experience some of the every day Rome life style, but close enough that the sights are within walking distance! Could not recommend Mauro and his apartment more!
