We loved our stay at Maria‘s apartment! She and her husband were incredibly nice and welcoming, sent us recommendations for places they liked and were very good at communicating. The apartment is lovely, well equipped and was spotlessly clean. Our only advice is to bring a sleeping mask when you’re used to sleeping in the dark, because there are no blinds and there’s quite some light coming into the room at night. The walk to the city center is not so nice, so we took the bus or an Uber (public transport is super cheap, so no problem at all). What we loved about the location of the apartment though is that it is not right where all the tourists are, so we checked out really good restaurants and bars and met a lot of locals.
All in all we would definitely recommend the place and we would love to stay here again, if we return to Rome!
