My partner and I had an absolutely perfect 5 nights stay in Rome and that was also thanks to us being hosted by Mario and his wife Dariya. The apartment is lovely, filled with interesting art objects, very clean and comfortable. We had exclusive use of the guests bathroom and our hosts were very generous in allowing us to use the kitchen and all the supplies we needed, which helped us a lot with sticking to our own culinary habits. The bed is very nice, we had really good night sleep, especially after we realised that we really needed to keep the window open as Rome was warm, even if it was only the beginning of April. Mario and Dariya were discreet and they tried to makes us feel like the entire apartment was ours and Mario showed us locations on the map and gave us a few tips about various things to see and do. The apartment is outside the centre of the city but it's basically only a few metro stops away from all the sightseeing. It was nice coming back to somewhere quiet after all the noise of the town. There are also fruit and vegetables shops, a fish shop and a supermarket all very near to the apartment and the metro stop is literally just across the street, so all in all very handy. What can I say? I'll definitely stay again in Mario's place when and if we come back to Rome.
