We couldn't imagine kinder or more helpful hosts than Maria Luisa and Ricardo. They were incredibly prompt on every communication, helped us arrange a taxi pick up and drop off for our large group at the airport, and helped make our stay homey and enjoyable in many small ways. We had issues with the internet for part of the trip, but Ricardo tried to help us fix that quickly. There's not really a common area to congregate, but one of the bedrooms is large enough and has a big table that served that purpose just fine. Everything was clean and lovely, and an easy bus ride into the main sites, or walking distance to the Vatican, and close by to some markets and restaurants. We would absolutely recommend their place to anyone going to Rome!
