Mario's apartment was perfect! The only unfortunate part was that Mario was away and we didn't get to meet him. He kindly arranged for a friend to let us in. She was there on time and and made us feel very welcomed. We found a bottle of wine that Mario had left for us along with some breakfast goodies. Much more than was necessary to make us feel at home.The apartment is very comfortable and close to the metro, which makes traveling in Rome very easy. I would highly recommend Mario's apartment.
