Mario and Barbara are wonderfully warm, prompt hosts. They helped us with anything that we wanted to be helped with. Their apartment is large, warm - feels like home. The kitchen is very modern and every convenience is available in the kitchen if you want to try your Italian cooking! We tried our amatriciana! :))) The neighborhood has many wonderful restaurants and bars, and is very walkable to the center of Rome. I would recommend this apartment to all who want to stay at a home - not a hotel - and experience Italy and Rome as true residents and not tourists.
