I spent 4 nights at Maurizio's apartment while visiting Rome on vacation and had a really great stay. The apartment is in a great location and is situated close to many restaurants, the Colosseum, Forum (other sites in this area) and is also close to public transportation.
I was in Rome on vacation sightseeing and taking in the Rome experience, and traveling with my collage age daughter who is spending the semester in Europe . Maurizio's apartment worked really for two people and met our needs very well. We prepared some basic meals in the apartment (breakfast and occasionally lunch) and found that the apartment was sufficiently equipped for our needs.
Location -
* the apartment is about a 7 minute walk to the Colosseum and there are a number of good restaurants (both touristy and not touristy) in very close proximity to the apartment. Maurizio provided a list of recommended restaurants - we went to two of them and found them both to be very good and reasonably priced.
* The apartment had everything that we needed and was sufficiently comfortable for our stay. We were out seeing the city spent little time in the apartment during the day.
* Keep in mind that this is an apartment and you are living among other families. This makes it somewhat different from a free standing home or a hotel. Expect to hear the sound of families / neighbors conducing their lives. There was some noise form neighbors, and while it was noticeable it was not a significant disturbance for us.
* We liked being in a local neighborhood and did a little shopping at the grocery store for breakfast items and snacks.
* Best of all was Maurizio! His communication was superb right from the time of the booking. He communicated with me about a week prior to arrival to get details on when I would arrive at the apartment and he provided information on how to travel from the airport to the apartment. We are arrived close to 11:00 p.m. and he met us at the apartment, showed us around, provided some info on the area and encouraged us to follow up with him if we had questions or needed anything. He also checked in with us during our stay. A very nice person and someone that I would welcome doing business with again.
I highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for similar accommodations while visiting Rome!
