Mario kept in touch before we travelled. As we were arriving in Rome before check in time we were able to leave our case at the accommodation, Mario met us there and went through a map of places to visit, local restaurants and shops, although we were local to walk most places. We were given a key to let us back in after check in time and we were able to come and go as required. We stayed out of season and were given tokens for breakfast at a local cafe, which allowed us to be part of the local community and support a local business.
Mario advised we were able to contact him anytime if we needed help or advise, knowing this was great, although the locals were very helpful.
