I very much enjoyed staying at Maurizio's place! The balcony is excellent and allows for a more slow-paced stay in Rome. I also love the location in Aurelio as this neighborhood is one of the first suburbs and was largely constructed after World War II. The place is very clean and visitor-friendly. The host is extremely helpful with early flights and check-in!
The flat itself has nice air conditioning and wifi which was perfect for me in the middle of July.
The Vatican is about a 15-minute walk away and everything else you might want to visit is another 15-30 minute walk after that. I enjoyed this walk very much but if you are less active you can use the bus (the stop is right on the main street).
I would definitely stay here again!
