Maurizio had his friend, Maria, pick us up at the airport for 35 euro which was very helpful. When we arrived he and Fabio gave us a tour of both the appartment and the neighborhood. We had fresh cake waiting for us. Location, location, location. The place couldn't have been situated any better. We were able to walk everywhere: Trastevere, Coloseo, Forum, Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Spanish Steps, Vatican City and even Galeria Borghese (though quite aways). Our phone was not working and with just an email or two, Maurizio reserved tickets for us to Borghese. I'm glad we didn't have to miss it. One word of advice would be to leave the bathroom door open with the fan on during the day to dry out towels offset the humidity. Thank you, gentlemen, for a wonderful home base for our week in Roma.
