Marco's apartment is a great place to stay near many of the top attractions in Rome, especially the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps, among others - but even the Colosseum was only maybe 30 minutes away by foot. The space was extremely comfortable and well appointed, and the small balcony in the back adds a nice touch. The apartment is located on a street with a fair amount of foot traffic, but the bedroom faces a courtyard on the other side of the block which is extremely quiet. Marco was also great in terms of communication throughout the process. With that said, there are two small considerations to note - first, it's a 3rd or 4th floor walk-up. If you have heavy luggage like we did (2+ week trip), that's something to consider - though Marco was there at check-in and check-out to help us. Second, the shower doesn't have any place to put one's toiletries (only the floor) - this may not bother others, but we found it to be a slight inconvenience. Overall, I would highly recommend this apartment!
