Unfortunately, we did not get a chance to meet Manuela. On the day we arrived, we were met by Elena who was very thorough in introducing us to the flat and showing us how things worked. Though we did not meet Manuela, she contacted us in the middle of our stay to see how everything was going and if we needed anything, which we appreciated. The apartment was clean and comfortable and easily met our needs. Though we did not cook meals, it appeared that the kitchen was adequately stocked with pots and pans and utensils if we had wanted to. Shower was good. First time in Rome and we found the flat to be in a great location with access to many places by foot and good access to public transportation. Very vibrant neighborhood with good restaurants all around us and shops in the neighborhood for essentials and more. I would definitely use the apartment again if I go back to Rome, which I hope to do again. Wireless connection was good and uninterrupted throughout our stay.
