Maurizio was a perfect host, he guided me into his place and showed me inside, he explained the rules, expectations and amenities available to us. He then recommended a few spots for us to visit (e.g. food, attractions and transportation locations). He was very pleasant and made sure we had what we needed, he also checked up on us every now and then to make sure we weren't lost. Above all, what I liked the most about his place is the location. It is perfectly located in the city. You can literally walk 15 to 20 minutes to get to Vatican city, the Ruins of Rome, and other popular attractions. What I like the best is that there are so many things available to you within that vicinity, there are convenience stores near by, restaurants on every corner, people set up a small stage near and play live American Music, and the river is right across the street; you can actually go down the stairs by the bridge where there are plenty of restaurants and small gift shops for you to spend some time after exploring the city. The options are endless, and if I decide to come back to Rome, I will in a heartbeat come back to Maurizio's apartment and stay if he allows me.
