The apartment was very large, modern and comfortable, in a quiet, safe neighborhood with great restaurants and bars, just steps from an ATM, a block from the Metro and several blocks from the Vatican and Rome beyond. There are bakeries, wine shops, and grocery stores nearby, so no issues in making use of the excellent kitchen. I will always remember our coffee and breakfasts on the private courtyard.

We were in contact with Marco via text and email prior to our arrival, he was waiting for us at the apartment upon our arrival, and arranged a taxi for our 4am departure. He and his wife have created a beautiful, airy space, and I cannot think of a better example of the value proposition of Airbnb.
