Mariastella went above and beyond to make our stay in Rome exceptional. She met us when we arrived via transportation she arranged for us from the train station-- how wonderful she was to help us with this as we were a party of 11. She also explained all the workings in her beautifully appointed apartment. Mariastella provided us with transportation hints to get around Rome in ease; gave us wonderful recommendations for pastries and restaurants, which we experienced---our review of Mariastella and the beautiful apartment get 5 stars!!! We would definitely use her again! Also the apartment is so close to the Vatican that you can walk or take a very short bus ride!
