Carmela's place in Rome fully exceeded my expectations. The only downside is the apartment being a bit far from major landmarks. However, an underground station is just 3 minutes walk. I've been to a lot of countries and stayed in a lot of places. But! I've never seen such a great host as Carmela is. The flat is immaculately clean. Carmela provided us with fresh fruit, decent coffee, a variety of yoghurts, juices and other tasty stuff for breakfast. There was a basket holding literally anything you might need on your trip: a sewing kit, shoes polishing stuff - you name it, there it is. A cozy backyard is a great plus - a nice place to chill out after traipsing around the city. Barbara (Carmela's) daughter gave us a lift to the airport and was always quick to provide any directions or guidance we needed. Unprecedented hospitality.
