We had a very nice time staying at Maria's place while visiting Rome. The apartment was clean, quiet and comfortable. The location was also great, about a 5 minute walk to the Colosseum and near a bus and metro station. There is a very good Indian restaurant just next to the apartment as well as a mini-market across the street for last minute amenities. Although we never met Maria, she was in constant communication with us to make sure we could check-in properly and was very quick to respond to any questions we had. If you plan on visiting Rome, this is a great place to stay!
