Maria Teresa and her husband made us feel welcome right away. They left champagne and snacks, showed us how to get around the neighborhood, arranged for taxis, offered restaurant and sightseeing recommendations. The apartment was as perfect as it looked in pictures, very spacious and clean, and the neighborhood was absolutely wonderful, so convenient and very safe. It felt like we were living in Rome in a quieter, "real," not touristy neighborhood. Metro stop is a 5-minute walk and many buses are easily accessible within just a few minutes' walk. Maria Teresa responded to messages extremely quickly, always offering helpful advice. I stayed there with 3 other family members and we had more than enough space. We loved having a living room and kitchen in which to gather for breakfast and plan each day's activities. Maria Teresa's place is a million times better than a hotel for all of the above reasons. During the rest of our time in Italy, we are in hotels due to some tour requirements, but we all said we much preferred Maria Teresa's apartment. We forgot something when we left the apartment, but we're still in Rome, so Maria Teresa delivered it to us. I just cannot say enough good things about our experience. If you are considering this place, look no further and just book it. You'll be so glad you did! We didn't want to leave!!
