We felt very welcome in Maria Carlas apartment. She greeted us by the door and gave us many recommendations for restaurants, ice cream and shops. And throughout the stay we kept in contact.
We especially enjoyed the small things she had done to make us feel welcome, e.g. a cold white wine in fridge or having mocha in the mornings. The apartment is situated very centrally and the restaurant across the street there is a nice restaurant with yummy bruschetta :) But there is some noise from the city and people outside, till late at night. We are used to that, but it can be a bit annoying.
Overall it was a really great place for a Rome getaway, and we would definitely recommend it to others.
