Maria is a fantastic host who will go above and beyond to help out. She speaks excellent English and her local knowledge is great having lived in the area herself in the past.
The flat itself is fantastically located near some of the best sites (with a view of the Colloseum from the front door) and surrounded by numerous delicious restaurants. Inside, everything is immaculate and even more pleasant than the pictures suggest. It was a lovely surprise to find that the whole courtyard was ours; this proved indispensable during the hot weather we had. Five stars.
