Finally some comfort for the single traveller!

Mine was a charming bedroom with artwork on the wall, a large, comfortable single bed with good pillows, outside space to enjoy a morning tea or evening beer, and my own, private bathroom across the hall. Being so high up, the apartment isn't noisy at all considering its location. (I wore earplugs, but I think you can easily do without.)

Lone female travellers: should you be worried about the neighborhood, there's no need. There's numerous hotels and restaurants on the way there, so you'll never find yourself alone or in the dark. Vicinity of the Termini station ensures numerous transport options by bus, metro, train, or taxi. Even so, Marco's place is only a 20' walk from sites such as the Galleria Borghese and the Monti neighborhood.

Breakfast is your usual, Italian fare with good coffee, a selection of teas, and, if you're lucky, Marco's homemade orange marmelade. If you want to buy some extra yoghurt or fruit, you can easily store it in the fridge. I very much appreciated the morning chats with Marco--always a good start of the day.

I hope to go back soon.
