Marlene was a wonderful host. It was the first time that we were in Rome, and she made us felt at ease from the time we landed at the airport until we left. When we arrived, she was nice enough to pick us up from the airport and take us to the apartment. She was dropping her daughter off at the airport at the same time, so she was nice enough to offer this to us. Marlene also had coffee with us to help orient us to the city, and give us a nice brief tour of some sites on the way to the airport.
The apartment itself was fantastic. The location is unbeatable: just a couple blocks away from the Pantheon. It also had the comforts of home, as we were able to prepare dinner without any problems a couple nights that we were there. It was certainly nice to be able to walk a couple blocks to the grocery store, and a couple minute walk to Campo de Fiori for the market.
I would highly recommend staying here for your visit to a wonderful city!
