Although not near the old section of Rome, Marco’s apartment is an easy walk (30 to 40 minutes) to Pantheon, Trevi and Piazza Navona. It ended up being the ideal location for my trip with my two sons. Metro is just two blocks away, but we did not need it. Apartment is well lite, clean and updated. My two older sons shared one bedroom and bathroom while I had my own room and bathroom. Washing machine came in handy. Another great feature was an in wall safe to leave your valuables.
