Maria's apartment in Rome was perfect! The neighborhood was quiet but had lots to offer and it was easy to walk to all of the main attractions in Rome. It is about a mile down the street from the Vatican and a very pretty walk along the way. The hostess was extremely nice and very helpful. They left a map for us and even took the time to point out great restaurants and shops in the area that you would not normally find yourself. Overall we loved staying at Maria's and would definitely suggest it to others!
