We LOVED our stay with Maria. Her apartment was beautiful, large, very clean and comfortable. Before we even arrived, she helped by arranging transport from the airport to the apartment. When we got to the apartment, Maria met us personally and had a lovely bottle of wine waiting for us on the balcony. We felt welcomed from the start! Maria helped us to know where the grocery stores and best local restaurants were, and gave us insider’s tips on visiting all of the sights of Rome. She left us with food essentials in the refrigerator and cupboard, and a large basket of breakfast snacks to last throughout the week. The air conditioning in the apartment worked wonderfully throughout, and was a welcome reprieve after our long days of sightseeing. Maria was easy to contact, although we never had any troubles. At the end of our stay, Maria arranged a cab for us to the train station. She even came to greet us personally and wait to be sure that the cab arrived properly. If you are looking for the perfect apartment to stay in Rome, look no further. This apartment is great, and Maria is the perfect host!
