Maria was friendly and helped us with many excellent suggestions for local restaurants - especially the cod at the local fish restaurant. The shower in the bath is a little “snug” if you are 6ft tall, but the traditional decor of the apartment, with exposed wooden beams and shutters, make it feel really warm and authentic. The location is perfect for exploring Rome, with the Vatican 15 mins in one direction, the Coliseum the same distance in the other, and shopping and restaurants on your doorstep. As first-time visitors,we loved our stay and Maria’s hospitality was superb.
