Maurilio was a perfect gentleman in every sense of the word and went out of his way to make my stay very comfortable. He even purchased my favourite berry yoghurts and jams for breakfast. I cannot speak highly enough of him. My stay for a month could have been a disaster had he not been so easy to get along with. You feel as if it is your place but if you need help, you just knock on his door. The apartment is very clean and it is always kept tidy.

Breakfast is self catering. As well as the Italian breakfast of sweet buns, biscuits, jams, nutella and coffee there is a huge range of cereals , fruit juices, yoghurts, bread and various teas and coffees. You can get up at your leisure because you can have breakfast at any time as long as you are out of the kitchen by 11.30.

My room was very big even for 2 people, but I wanted a huge room where I could continue my international business transactions via WIFI and also continue my passion for sketching and painting. The room was furnished with a huge desk, book shelves and plenty of cupboard and hanging space. Another terrific feature was the large windows that looked out onto the characteristic cobbled streets and historically old apartment blocks of Trastevere.

Although you do share the bathroom it was never a problem as there is a second toilet. There was plenty of hot water for showers…… even a bath tub.

It is a great find as it is on a pedestrian only narrow street with a wonderful arch, is very quiet and it is only a 30 meter walk to the main Piazza of the famous and iconic Church of Santa Maria in Trastevere…… The piazza is a must for anyone visiting Rome.

Maurilio was always helpful, cheerful and very approachable if I needed something.. and he gave 110%. I do miss his warm greetings, his chats and his friendship. I would thoroughly recommend a stay with him.
