Maria Teresa was an excellent host. Our party of 5 were very comfortable and had a lot of privacy in her apartment. There was enough shared space (large couch, kitchen table, balcony, terrace) that when one of us woke up at odd hours (coming from the US) we could be comfortable without waking anyone else. She thoughtfully provided breakfast the first day, coffee and tea for the entire stay and bathroom products. It saved us a trip to a store on our first night in Rome. Her apartment is within 5 minutes walking to two Metro stations, about 30 minutes walk to Ancient Rome, Vatican, Borghese Gallery, 5-10 minutes to other significant landmarks. Numerous shops, restaurants, cafes within a stone's throw. We had a wonderful stay in Rome.
