Maurizio and Fabio's place was an exceptional home base from which to explore Rome. It is located very near major transit and some of the best food in the city (Gelateria del Teatro is literally a 3 min. walk and La Boccaccia pizza is 7 min.). We were walking distance to all of the major sites we wanted to see. There is good shopping very close by and the historic Jewish ghetto offers a ton of places to shop, eat, explore, and relax. After hitting the tourist-filled Roman pavement in the hot July sun, we were ALWAYS grateful for the a/c and quiet when we got back to the apartment. There was a grocery store about a block from us. The apartment was lovely and there were biscuits and jam, tea and coffee, laid out for us on arrival. We thought the bed was very comfortable and the amenities were great. The shower can be a bit of a trick to keep the temperature stable, but we eventually figured it out. We had super easy communication with Maurizio and Fabio and they provided all kinds of thoughtful things, i.e. walking maps, restaurant recommendations, (very last-minute) transfer set-ups, etc., that made our stay really nice. If you travel internationally with AirBnB, then you know that the places that provide more than just the bare minimum are really special. This is one of those places.
