I picked Maria's place because I wanted to stay at a place that had a lot of character. I have 0 regrets about picking Maria's place. First of all, the LOCATION is amazing (right above Rome's oldest bakery). It was so easy to get everywhere by walking and we especially being close to Trastavere. Maria arranged an earlier check in due to us arriving about 2 hours before the actual check in time. She met with us personally and went over everything in person. Her place was full of character which I adored including an amazing view out of the bedroom window.
