Maria’s home was in a great location for visiting the Vatican/St Peter’s. As a solo female traveler I felt safe here. Maria made sure I had coffee and the bed was comfortable! I would stay here again. My only complaint is that there were no checkin instructions but we agreed on a time to check in. I notified her an hour before that I would be there at the specified time but got no response. I notified her again when I was outside at the agreed upon time and again got no response. After another 20 minutes I texted her again and tried to call: no response. So I’m standing outside with my heavy pack on my back with all her neighbors staring at me. I started asking the others going into the building if they knew which bell to ring and that’s the only way I got in. She did not tell me to expect someone other than her. My point is that if she isn’t going to be responsive she might consider giving checkin instructions.
