Mario’s home is a great place to stay in Rome. Worth every Euro we spent, and then some! My husband and I loved our stay.

Some highlights of Mario's home worth mentioning:

•	His apartment is a block away from the Monti Tiburtini stop on the Metro Line B and a stop for several bus lines. Very convenient location for getting around Rome
•	Mario responds very quickly to emails and is very accommodating and easy to work with. Great communication.
•	There are many shops right around his apartment; you will find everything you need for your stay. Local shopkeepers are friendly and were very patient and helpful with our attempts to speak Italian.
•	Apartment has Wi-Fi access and Mario allows you to use his desktop computer
•	Lovely balcony for having coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at the end of the day.
•	Mario left us plenty of food for breakfast, and a bottle of wine.
•	The bed is very comfortable
•	Apartment is immaculate and beautifully decorated, yet very welcoming and comfortable.
•	Kitchen is spacious with a full-sized gas cook top and stove. There is a washing machine, but no dryer. Clothes are dried on a clothesline on the balcony.
•	Great selection of Italian music to listen to each night. No television.
•	Building is in a quiet, clean complex and has an elevator.

Two things you should know before you come (but should not at all discourage you from coming!)

•	Mario’s apartment is good for smokers or non-smokers who don’t mind a very faint odor of smoke. (Open a window and the breeze gets rid of the odor immediately. It's really not a problem at all.)
•	Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper; the neighbors rise early and you can hear their conversations through the bedroom wall.

We think Mario's home is fabulous. Such a great value. Much more comfortable than staying in a hotel. I hope to stay there again on my next visit to Rome.
