Mario’s place was great. My husband and I were looking for a quiet place to get some good rest after the craziness in the city. The apartment was very clean. He had a couple of complimentary things for us which we very much appreciated it. The AC was broken but he made sure we were still comfortable and had a portable AC which worked great. There is a super market right around the corner for anything we needed and wanted. The bus we took from the metro station leaves you right around the corner too. That saved us a lot of hassle carrying our luggage. He always responded right away and recommended many places for us to eat. Now here are two things to keep in mind.
1. The bed listed is actually a sofa bed. For us that was a bit of a surprise since we were actually expecting a regular bed. We personally don’t like sofa beds...we always try to look for a comfortable bed to rest well so we can go about the whole day after a night of great rest in a nice bed...it is not bad for being a sofa bed, but just have it in mind.
2. The check in says flexible (which our host absolutely was). Check out time says 1 Pm and we were asked to check out earlier...first at 10 am and after some back and forth messaging he asked us to leave by 11...since he was having the repair man come fix the AC. When We told him we could not check out by 10 and told him the reason we chose this place was because of late check out he said “check out depends on agreement”. Anyway, our plan was to sleep in, take our time packing since we fly somewhere else after Rome and we didn’t want to be too tired and we couldn’t really do that since we had to leave by a certain time. Our recommendation is if you book this place because of late check out, make sure you let Mario know so you won’t get a surprise “leave earlier request”.
That being said, we still recommend this place!
