The flat is lovely - very quiet and cool (which was much appreciated during the July heatwave!). The balconies are really good for having breakfast on, and the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need.
I didn’t have the opportunity to meet the hosts themselves, but my mum reportedly had a smooth check in and a pickup from the airport was arranged for her which was much appreciated! Mauro was very responsive to our messages and always friendly, we really felt like they cared about our experience.
The only thing I would mention - and it’s not necessarily a negative - is that the apartment is quite out of the way of the city. The metro is a 15 minute walk, and it took us just under half an hour to walk to the Vatican City. If you know about this beforehand though, it’s fine, and the price is very good for Rome.
There is also a good supermarket nearby and the area is safe and friendly.
We had a lovely time in Mauro’s place and would definitely recommend! :))
