Marzia greeted me warmly with such enthusiasm and friendliness that I felt instantly comfortable with her. And it wasn't just because this was our first mtg. Throughout my trip, she and her husband Fabio impressed me with their willingness to help and make me feel welcome. Case in point: Later in my trip, without any obligation to, they helped set me up at another hotel (with a discount!) when another booking didn't fall through and even gave me a (also discounted) ride to the airport the day after. Overall, I couldn't have asked for better hosts! =)

The room itself is gorgeous, just like the pictures. Clean shower and cute bathroom. A radio to listen to Europop and TV. Guidebooks a plenty. The bed is very comfortable and there is a giant dresser. It's separated from the main apartment so you get plenty of privacy and freedom.

Loved the foodie recommendations - Miraggio was great for pasta. The Goose Cafe/Restaurant are also both worthwhile to check out (especially since Marzia gives breakfast voucher for the cafe for pastry + coffee).

Locationwise, just a short walk to St Peter's and a convenient busride from the City center as well as south to Trastavere.

Would highly, highly recommend!
