Mara was a wonderful host! Communication was top notch. Our flight was delayed, and we arrived 8 hours late but she still met us at the apartment late at night to check us in. The apartment was very clean, and had everything we needed. We were woke early most days as the neighbors and their children upstairs prepared for their day. But that was the ONLY down side to staying there, and probably a typical issue in most apartments. The train nearby was out of service, which required more bus rides than desired but the bus stop was only a short walk away.
We loved sitting on the balcony and watching the hustle and bustle of the wonderful neighborhood. The area has so much to offer, minus the touristy attractions! If you want to experience a true residential neighborhood in Rome with the markets, great restaurants, and small family owned shops, this is your place! You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend Mara’s place, and hope to go back someday.
