Mauro's place was just what I needed for my break in Rome. It was just the right distance from everywhere I wanted to go. So handy for transport, subway and buses (stop right outside the door). It felt like a very safe and easy place to walk around, at anytime of day or evening. Having a very tasty pastry shop practically across the road, a pizza shop next door, perfect for a lazy day - plus a lot cheaper than the nearest shops a short walk closer to the centre. The terrace was a lovely area for the start and end of the day to relax in. Private bathroom was a bonus. The house cat is gorgeous. Mauro is very helpful and respectful of your time and privacy.
