Marco was kind and easy to work with while coordinating our stay. His home is beautiful, spacious and situated in the heart of Rome and thankfully on the first floor (though a flight of stairs is required to walk up it wasn't a problem for us - and we had strollers!). It was a very short walk to the Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain and reasonable walking distance to the Vatican and coliseum. There is a grocery store on the corner and a good deal of high end shopping.
The three bedrooms were perfect to host two couples, each with kids about 2 years old and Marco did a great job making sure the house was prepared to handle our families.
We enjoyed the patio at night drinking wine with sleeping kids undisturbed. The kitchen is well equipped, the AC kept us cool, the TV's are modern and there was plenty of comfy seating between the dining and living rooms. The bathrooms could use some updating but truly everything in the home was in working order, clean and comfortable.
Marco's home deserves 5 stars across the board once the construction above his apartment is complete. He did not make us aware of this issue ahead of our stay but recent, previous reviews of his home eluded to only some inconvenience. He was however quick to inform us about the construction when we arrived and instructed us to reach out to him if it was problematic.
Thankfully for us as we spent the days exploring Rome and weren't terribly inconvenienced by the noise but if we were spending time in the apartment during the day this would have been a major pain point for us managing nap times for our kids.
All in all we would absolutely stay here again if given the opportunity and would recommend Marco and his home. Just inquire about the construction and how it could affect your stay over the next few weeks.
