This was a wonderful place to stay. Sylvie, the owner/hostess, is amazing! You are actually staying in her apartment where she has two rooms available. She gives you excellent information before you arrive and links to help you get more information for planning your trip. Once you are there she is a wealth of knowledge and couldn't be more helpful to get you acquainted with Rome and direct you as needed. Look her up on Facebook!

Her place is very clean and cozy! We didn't have a problem with either of the following but just FYI...there isn't an elevator to get up the four flights of stairs and you share a bathroom with other guests.

host gives good recommendations and was friendly. Very ice to have kitchen access for breakfast. Enjoyed reading the guide books provided aand exploring Travestere.

My sister and I stayed at Maria Rosa's Guesthouse our first night in Rome and had a wonderful experience. Sylvie was out of town unfortunately but she made arrangements for her friends to take her place. Her friends were extremely welcoming and kind to us. They seemed to truly care that we felt comfortable and knew where we were going. The room is big and clean and the bathroom, although shared, is close by and clean. It was great to stay in a home that felt loved. Sylvie's recommendations were helpful. The area is great, but DON'T take a cab from Termini Station (very expensive for some reason)! We wish we could have stayed longer and hope to be back someday!

Sylvie, Thank you for having us stay with you at the Maria-Rosa Guesthouse. You were amazing, helping in getting around Rome and more. Your warm welcomes and friendly good byes made us feel like at home. We hope to return in 2012 and would once again like to stay at your guesthouse. We wish you all the best” “Thank you so much for your help, your smile and lust for life. We shall be back. The information you provided was both helpful and inspiring. Viva Roma”
