We had a lovely stay at Maria Laura's and she was a fantastic host! We arrived in Rome early our first day so Maria Laura met and welcomed us twice! First at lunch, so that we could leave our bags, and then again that evening for a tour of the apartment and some great information about the city. The apartment was as described, we found it bright, cool (important during a heat wave!), quiet, clean and well equipped, and in a perfect location to explore Rome.
