Staying in Marios apartment was perfect... it was a sigh of relief when coming "home" from busy/loud central Rome, into his quiet and charming neighbourhood, where you have everything within a 5 minute walk. It's very easy to use the metro system and navigate through the streets around his apartment, and safe as well. Mario offered us a bottle of wine upon arrival, and a huge breakfast every morning! (Eggs, coffee, milk for cappuccino, fruit, bread(s), even prosciutto!) He gives you your own set of keys, and essentially the entire apartment. We only saw Mario once during our stay- which was sad because I wanted to thank him in person for such a lovely stay!!
So, thank you Mario for hosting on AirbNb, your apartment is beautiful and your art is very unique- great conversation arose from just looking at all your sculptures, paintings, etc. We had a lot of lovely moments just relaxing on the back deck watching the sunset, drinking wine, eating pizza, talking about Italy and it's beautiful culture- I do not think we would have seen the true "roman culture" if we would have stayed in the city. In fact, I'm sure of it. Your place is a real gem. Grazie mille!! Julie & Jon.
