Mario's apartment is a wonderful haven in the center of Rome. It looks just as it does in the photos with a full kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bedroom. The bed was very comfortable, the shower had great pressure and hot water, and the kitchen was filled with many small items that made it that much easier to arrive and feel comfortable - not only pans and cutlery etc., but also coffee, olive oil, spices etc. Mario also left out a bottle of red wine for me, which was wonderful to drink after coming in from the cold every day. The temperature in the apartment was perfect, even in the winter. It would have been easy to adjust it, but I did not need to. The wifi was also very good, and I had no problem streaming etc. The apartment also had a microwave, dishwasher, and washing machine, all of which worked perfectly. In terms of location, it can't be beat. The apartment is located on Via dei Coronari, one of the most charming streets in Rome - narrow, cobblestoned, and lined with wonderful artisan shops, cozy restaurants, and lovely cafes. You are absolutely spoilt for choices and just walking around the neighborhood was a treat. I was also able to walk to all of the sights - the Vatican, the Colosseum, the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps etc. The walks were anywhere from 7-20 minutes for these places, with the Colosseum taking the longest. That said, if you didn't want to walk, there are taxis available right near the apartment, which was great for getting to the airport, the train station, the opera house etc. Mario's communication was swift, clear, and helpful. And check in and check out were super easy.
