Mara was amazing. She was on hand to greet us as well as send us off. She was the so warm and friendly, despite the language barrier we still managed to communicate with no real problems. She even helped arrange for a taxi to send us to the airport which was a lot cheaper than uber and regular taxi rates.
Her place was lovely, clean and spacious. About a 7 minute walk to the metro station, which is 3 stops from the colosseum. There is a decent pizzeria and a burger joint within a minute away from her apartment. Would highly recommend this to anyone with families or even couples.
