I really enjoyed my stay in Maria's apartment. It is in a very old, beautiful building, so there is a lot of charm and "quirks" that I loved. The location is perfect, with the heart of Roma all around you. I definitely ate my way through the streets. The apartment itself was much larger than I expected, however, it was still super cozy & beautifully decorated! I loved the antiques and light fixtures. I worked remote and really enjoyed sitting out on the patio -- I dont think the photos serve that space justice, it is adorable!
A few things to mention that others have also noted -- because of the positioning of the apartment in the building, there is next to zero natural light that comes in during the day. The bedroom has a nice glow from facing the courtyard, but the rest of the apt is quite dark. That said, if you are planning to work remote -- there is a big desk with a lamp, and of course, the patio that is quite comfortable. The other thing -- the building is definitely noisy! This is not the type of noise where people are up all night partying, but sound definitely carries through the building when people are talking loudly or watching TV. Im not extremely sensitive to noise (I live in New York City) but if you are someone who is sensitive, that might be something to be mindful of.
Maria was very quick to respond to any questions I had, and I also felt very safe in the space as a solo female traveler. Thank you for everything!
