Mariestella and her daughter were phenomenal hosts and the property was perfect for our family of 11. It had a great family/dining area that allowed us all to gather together and the bedrooms were well appointed for relaxation and privacy. Although Rome had high temps in the 90s for all 6 days, the Air Conditioning worked very well to make it comfortable upon return from our excursions. She provided the absolute best pamphlet of information and tips for everything (restaurants, attractions, bus/metro, sights, markets, excursions) that I have seen in my 20 years of VRBO rentals. She even bought grocery essentials to welcome us and arranged very reasonable transportation to the airport on our departure. In our haste, our grandaughters' left their two carry-on suitcases and Mariastella promptly retrieved them, even though she was hosting 2 new groups at her properties that same day and is sending them to us - What an Angel! She checked several times to see if we needed anything. I highly recommend Mariestella and her property. She also has a beautiful home on the Umbria/Tuscanny border that we will absolutely come back to rent. If you have the time, come spend a week in Rome at her apartment and then spend a week at her Tuscany Villa for rest and relaxation with a pool and beautiful lake. Thank you Mariestella for a vacation we will always remember. We will back for Tuscany.
Ciao and Grazi,
The Meade Family
