Maria is a perfect host. She helped us a great deal with tips on getting around, helped us book a cab to the airport when we couldn't manage with Italian speaking customer care executives, even allowed us a late checkout because she didn't have guests coming in that day (this really helped as we had an evening flight to catch home). And to top it all, she had a delicious, freshly baked cake waiting for us when we reached. All in all, the best stay on our entire trip.

About the home now. A very well maintained home, just like in the pictures. Well equipped kitchen, spacious rooms, no problems really. The location was quite in a corner of the map of Rome, but it was easy getting around with a bus stop right across the street. The closest metro station is a good 15-minute walk, but metros aren't exactly the preferred mode of transport in Rome. Buses provide much better connectivity. We took a 72-hour pass that allowed us unlimited bus and metro access, but ended up using the metro just once. The apartment is in a peaceful residential area, very safe. I would very much recommend it.

Just a couple of points to note:
-Restaurants near the apartment shut early (8:30-9). So in case if you are planning to return late, it would be advisable to eat elsewhere.
-The shower cubicles are rather small. We were all of a lean built, so managed with a little trouble. But anyone of a heavier built might want to keep this in mind.
