Did not meet the host but the cleaner Maura was very nice. Owner however gave lots of information via mobile and email so communication was very good. The apartment was clean and the area was really nice. Bus stop outside apartment however buses only seem to come one an hour which was not great. We loved our stay in Rome and would recommend this apartment. Restaurants nearby were very good. Parioli restaurant across street was good value and Calzone was amazing. Could walk into Rome through Borghese Park it was a lovely walk from apartment.
