We loved our stay at Maurizio's apartment. It's small but perfect for our needs for a short stay - the garden is an added bonus. It's also set in a very beautiful, historic and quiet complex of apartments.
The best thing about it was probably the location - walking distance to almost everything, from the lively bars on the river to the Forum, Palatine Hill, Colloseum, Campo del Fiori and more. There's also a deli and nice cafes for a morning cappuccino.
Maurizio was very helpful, meeting us at the apartment to show us around and booking us a taxi back. I'd recommend this apartment to anyone wanting a stay in central Rome.
