This place is in a great location if you want to experience Rome with a touch of the local's lifestyle. This place is not right in the center of all the touristic attractions but it is extremely accessible by train, bus and just walking distance from many places besides the Vatican city (which is a few blocks away). This place is close to a store that is open 24h, as well as plenty of bars, pasticerias, and other places to eat/enjoy. The apartment has updated amenities and it's very comfortable and clean. Unfortunately, we did not meet Maria because our flight was delayed, but her son let us into the apartment who was extremely friendly. Maria was available to answer any questions we had during our stay, and was very helpful and friendly. We would stay at Maria's place again!
