You will find extra special service from Mauro. Going over and beyond doesn’t begin to describe the level of customer service and concern you receive from Mauro. The apartment is in a true Italian neighborhood in the outskirts from Rome. One of the biggest advantages is the convenience to the metro station. This allows you access to every place in the city within minutes. We took only one cab while in Rome and that was only because we were coming back too late to catch the Metro subway. It saved a lot of money on cab fees. Plus there is a grocery store right around the corner. So very close. And a gelato store at the entry to the building. If you are on a diet, perhaps not a perk but the line in front of the store is full of only locals at night and the best gelato we had in the trip. Mauro checked with us daily on anything we needed. He was there for suggestions anytime and his prompt response was comforting to know that there was always someone we could call. The apt was large enough for our family of 4 adults. (Mom, dad and 2 adult kids) we were able to wash clothes nightly and having two bathrooms was a definite plus. The area surrounding has a few local restaurants and stores that are easy to access as well. Couldn’t say more positive things about Mauro.
