My sister and I stayed in Maria's apartment for 8 nights and we were extremely happy that we chose this property. We are older and safety, comfort and convenience were important to us. The apartment is very well located, we easily walked to St Peter's and the Vatican Museum and did a longer trek one day to explore Trastevere. At the end of the street is the train station, which is very clean and reliable and will take you anywhere in Rome, very inexpensive. There are good restaurants in the area as well as an organic fresh market about a 10 min walk away which is great for produce, fresh pasta, cheese, etc. The kitchen is small but adequate, we cooked several dinners in our apartment. Beds were comfortable, the A/C system is very quiet. The showers are a bit on the small side but not a problem for either of us. There is construction across the street but the workers don't start until 8 am and stop promptly at 5 and at this point it seems to be mostly interior finishing being done so it is not that noisy. Maria was truly a wonderful host, responding to our questions promptly, arranging for taxi to the airport and giving us a recommendation for a tour operator for a day trip to Tivoli. We had dinner one evening at Sorpasso in the Preti neighborhood which she had recommended and it was fantastic. Remember, this is an apartment and not a hotel, you will be living more like the locals, which we enjoyed and appreciated. Thank you, Maria, for a memorable Rome vacation!
