Marcos place was fantastic, located a 20 min walk or 5 min bus from the metro (Cornelia) which is all you need to navigate Rome. There is some noise as it is near a main road but that is solved when you shut the balcony, there is a balcony! The place was exactly as stated and definitely possessed a home away from home atmosphere, open and light. There is a supermarket nearby and restaurants across the street (Benedetto is a winner), as well as a few shops, market and more chain stores near the metro. I would definitely return, it was the perfect place for my first stay in Rome and the location as well as Marco's advice and information helped make us feel welcome and safe and made the holiday a relaxed one. The space was just big enough for some painting and writing, and had all the essentials and more for cooking and cleaning so all we needed to buy aside from geberal groceries was toilet paper and washing capsules. The outside of the apartment building has a lot of plants and cats to meet, and every neighbour was friendly as much as they could be through Italian. I am very grateful we managed to get this flat for the holiday, and it was sad leaving it but I'm glad we got to stay there and look forward to living there again hopefully ^_^
