Our experience with Mario was most favorable. It should be noted that we stayed for a mere two days and used the bulk of that time experiencing the beauty of Rome (of which there was a lot to experience by the way :D). Mario was very accommodating and respectful to our needs. When we got out of the train station- there he was waiting for us and wasted no time helping with our bags. He made us feel right at home and was generous with his sightseeing suggestions. The commute to the city was about ten minutes and his place is about block away from the station. His apartment is quite charming. The bathroom is beautiful and very clean. The bedroom is exquisitely presented and quiet. Over all his place has a calming yet passionate flow about it. His appreciation for collectors items and antiques are apparent and beguiling. It gave an added ambience to our Roman holiday, waking up in the morning as well as coming home at the end of the day. We highly recommend Mario for your Roman vacation. We only wish that we had blocked out some more downtime for ourselves just to enjoy his apartment! Bellissimo, Mario! Bellissimo!
