Marialaura is the most gracious of hosts. After an interesting drive from the airport, we found the apartment reasonably easily. That she was waiting downstairs and recognised me was a bonus.

Marialaura welcomed us into the apartment and we were stunned. The apartment was spotless!The images belies it's size, and ambience. My kids were more excited than we were.

To get us started, Marialaura had arranged a a whole lot of goodies to see us through to lunch the following day. The fridge had the essentials. The apartment also had all the clean up basics, so we didn't have to bother arranging some.

Marialaura further took us for a tour of the apartment, showed us how everything worked and then showed me the local neighbourhood.

The apartment is literally 5 minutes walk to the No. 8 Tram, No. 3 Bus and Trestavere Station. Getting to and from the city's tourist traps was a breeze!

I will most certainly be staying there if I return to Rome and will highly recommend this apartment to family and friends.
