Mario's apartment is well situated in the bustling neighborhood of Pigneto, steps away from the new Metro C (which takes you straight to San Giovanni, a pretty large hub that will allow you to walk to to the historical center of Rome, or transfer to the A line). Mario's apartment is clean, fully equipped with everything you might need during your short stay. Good water pressure in the shower which is not always a given in Rome! Highly recommended for anyone who is in Rome for a few days and wants to maximize their time out and about without paying the exorbitant costs of being in the *historical* center while being able to access and experience Rome by foot.
As a host, Mario is extremely attentive and responsive. He accommodated my late check in, and made sure I knew how to get around and made himself available and periodically checked in via text during my stay.
