We chose to stay at Maria's place while visiting Rome for a friend's wedding. We thought we would use public transportation a lot but we were actually able to walk to every attraction we wanted to see in Rome including the Vatican, Trevi Fountain, Colloseum, Pantheon, etc. The restaurants right outside the apartment doors we're great and we even became regulars at one of them because their drinks were our favorite! Bonus points for the A/C, washer, dryer, and IRON provided by Maria. These made our stay much more comfortable and we would stay here again!
