We had a wonderful time. For the price and location, Mario's apartment is perfect. Tucked in Via de Coronari, also known as "Antique Alley", its perfectly located to see Old Rome on foot. The Vatican and Castel San Angelo are mere steps away (a 5 min walk if that) from the apartment and all the other sites we could easily walk to. Very close to Piazza Navona and the Pantheon. The farthest sites were the Borghese Gallery and the Colossuem (approx 2 miles away each). Its a 25 min walk or an easy 10 min Uber ride away. There are great restaurants and shops that are not too touristy all along via de Coronari plus a grocery store and pharmacy are also near by. The apartment is small by US standards but has everything you'd need: full kitchen (no oven- most apts in Rome wont have one) and a washer (no dryer- line dry only). Bathroom is very clean and features a standing shower with a nice shower head and very hot water. We absolutely loved having a full apartment and felt safe everywhere we went. Mario was a very attentive and helpful host- we even locked ourselves out our last night in Rome and he came straight away to help us. We were so embarrassed but he was very kind about it. We can't wait to return and stay in Mario's apartment again.
