Mario is an exceptional host!
He welcomed us with 2 glasses of Roman wine, homemade pastries, beautiful music and a great mood although we arrived late at night at his appartment.

The appartment is exactly as described and seen in pictures. A huge room with a big bed, a sofa (which also becomes a bed), a desk, a hi-fi (with a small but very cool collection of CD's) and a big wardrobe. A fully equipped kitchen (cuttlery, plates and electric appliances), and a table with chairs. The bathroom is also fully equipped (there was even shampoo, toothpaste, soap and a hairdryer). The only drawback is that the shower is really small.

Last but not least, there is a small balcony where you can take some fresh air and find a washing machine, in case of emergency!

Mario provided us with clean sheets and towels, information about shops and restaurants, as well as 2 ponchos for rain and a big umbrella!

Overall, the appartment is a great choice. It provides everything that a couple/family could need (and more) and Mario is very kind and helpful. The only negative is that the neighborhood looks a little bit poor and dirty, but I guess it's not a big deal as most of us are in Rome not to stay home or around home, but walk around sights and city center... ;)
