Maria is the perfect host and our stay in her lovely home allowed us to have a wonderful experience in Rome. Her place is just as described on AirBnB. Maria’s knowledge of all that Rome has to offer helped us experience not only tourist sites but also visit more neighborhoods that allowed us to spend more time with the locals. While her home is away from the city center, there are several forms of public transportation available nearby. If we return to Rome, we hope to be able to stay with Maria because we felt like family with her. Leaving Rome, we felt like we were leaving a friend.
