One word: PERFECT! Seriously, from the beginning, Mario was excellent at communication and prior to arrival, offered to meet my husband and I at the metro station (he is just a 5-7 minute ride outside the city center which we loved so we were away from all the tourism) to walk us to his place. Mario stocked the fridge with delicious food (which we used to make an awesome Italian breakfast the next morning), gifted us with excellent wine upon arrival and put aside a large assortment of snacks for us to use during our stay. His apartment is BEAUTIFUL (he is a VERY talented artist), very clean and so much better than any hotel could ever offer. He was away for most of the weekend while we were there (visiting family), but was always accessible and lovely to talk to when around. If you can book this place during your stay in Rome, you won't forget it! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING MARIO!!!! You made our stay in Rome perfect!!! :o)
