We had stayed with Maria two years ago and this was our first choice when we decided to return. Only 2 bridges from P Roma (one with a ramp) and down an alley right across from the train station. Very convenient to starting out on a walking tour or vaparetto trip.

Breakfast of hot coffee, juice, croissant and yogurt delivered to the room at a time of your choosing was a welcome start to the day.

Yes, the bed is firm. Yes, the bathroom is small. But there was always plenty of hot water and the room was very quiet.

We stayed here before leaving on a cruise and Maria allowed us to leave our luggage in her foyer after checkout but before we were ready to leave for the ship. A very big help.

Note: We had an overnight flight from the States so had a pillow from home with us. You might want to consider doing the same if you like soft squishy pillows as hers were firm like the bed (look for extras in the cupboard).

Also, if you have any complex questions or requests for Maria, you might like to have a translation program with you or have them already typed out and translated. My limited Spanish also helped.

Overall, I would highly recommend staying with Maria.
