My boyfriend and I stayed at Magguy’s place for our first 5 days in Rome and it was in the perfect location for us! Far enough to be out of the craziness of the tourist areas but close enough that you can wander and explore so much of Rome on foot, including all of the major sites! You are also very close to a metro station (5 minute walk) that can get you to a lot of the tourist areas and the metro is easy to use and get the hang of. Magguy’s place is quite large with two large bedrooms, ample closet space, and plenty of sleeping room for a full family. We definitely had more space than the two of us needed. The kitchen and dining area are also spacious and fully stocked with cooking equipment. I loved making a quick Italian espresso and having that every morning. You are close to wonderful restaurants within the area and one of the best gelato spots in the city! The bed was super comfortable and the towels are nice and large. We felt safe in the building and surrounding areas. Magguy and her husband are very hospitable and made our late (and I mean late) check-in super easy (our flight didn’t land until well after midnight then customs took an hour plus we had to travel 30+ minutes from the airport); Magguy’s husband was at the apartment waiting for us and graciously stayed longer and talked us through everything to make sure we felt comfortable. Just an FYI for people who are coming to Rome for the first time, you will be asked to share your passport and/or drivers license so that they can register you with the city/police department. This is a requirement in Rome and should be asked by every host you stay with. There’s also a city tax you will have to pay in cash, not much but just so you know (Magguy and other hosts write about this in their descriptions). We had an issue with the shower water temperature throughout our stay (it was either extremely hot or extremely cold) no matter what adjustments we made (and we tried everything). Tomaso & Magguy were very responsive to this however we were not able to fix the problem during our stay. With that said, no other reviewers mentioned this so maybe it’s just a one-time thing. Of note, due to the size of the water heater, warm showers will last around 15 minutes maybe 20 if you are lucky (this is anywhere around Rome). Despite the unfortunate circumstances with the shower water temperatures, we very much enjoyed our stay and are thankful to our gracious hosts.
