We had a fantastic stay at Maria's place from start to finish. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and the apartment was exactly what we expected. The location is absolutely unbeatable in the heart of Roma, with amazing food nearby (brunch at Lalo!, risotto for dinner at Tres Tonela across the street). The Internet is good and stable, the patio is indeed private. The apartment is away from the entrance of the building, which means that it's very quiet but can get a bit chilly during the winter. The communication was excellent with Maria and Jaime. I'd stay in their place again in a heartbeat.
