Just finished a wonderful stay at Maria's apartment on Via Amerigo Verspucci. She was incredibly welcoming and helpful, and despite her limited English, did her best to accommodate for our every need. Upon arrival, Maria gave us a tour of the apartment and the local amenities, she was happy to answer any of our questions and didn't let the language barrier hinder her ability to assist us. The apartment itself was immaculately clean and the bed was very comfortable. The room also had air con which we were very appreciative of during the hotter days. In terms of the area, we found it to be very residential, with few tourists, but many of the locals did speak some English. The metro station was a 10 minute walk away which we found to be a life-saver when it came to travelling to all the main tourist attractions (the colosseum was only 2 stops away). Overall, I cannot fault Maria and her hosting, my only criticism would be the location, as it is a very residential area, which, as two young girls, could be slightly intimidating at times.
