Marys was a great host. When we arrived she showed us around. Showed us a map of the area and her reccomendations for the stay. We felt that if we needed any assistance she was happy to help. The place is very convienent to the colosseum- we mostly walked all over Rome only taking the metro to the Vatican. There are also convienent shops downstairs. The only thing to note is that the shower is in the room so you'd want to feel comfortable with the person you're travelling with. The place was great and we would definetly stay again!
