I would strongly recommend this listing to anyone looking to stay in Rome (and have already recommended it to my family). The description is accurate, the apartment is perfect for two people, plenty of room to store luggage and other packed items, Testaccio is a lovely neighborhood that you can walk around in at night, and while it's not in the heart of the centro storico, you still have history right outside your window with the temple wall and a beautiful church right next door.

Maria is a wonderful host, and makes sure you're taken care of, even providing some basics for an extended stay. I don't want to promise anything for her but for my fiancee and I who were staying the week, she had made sure there was a little laundry detergent, breakfast crackers, and a little to drink. She really went the extra mile.

There was a little confusion on exact times for when we were arriving and leaving (specifically our flight times were mistaken for when we would arrive at the apartment), but I think that was mostly due to problems translating and ultimately everything worked out perfectly. Maria's English is limited but much better than my Italian and she really makes an effort to be understood.
