We spent a fantastic week at Marco’s lovely apartment in Rome, which is situated in a leafy location in EUR on the outskirts of Rome. The surrounding district is a pleasant residential area, which we chose because we were driving and needed the very convenient private parking - can recommend! However, the metro station was only 10-15 minutes’ walk away and we were in the heart of the main tourist sights everyday in just 25 minutes. There is a shopping centre conveniently located just 10 minutes drive away and we also took a day trip out to the fantastic historic sight of Ostia Antica, which is just a half-hour’s drive from the apartment as well.
The accommodation is huge, even more spacious than shown in the photographs, situated in a classic apartment block of its era and tastefully decorated, with two outdoor balconies to use as well. It is very comfortable, clean and has all the amenities you could possibly need. The kitchen has all the basics and essential equipment such as a large-sized fridge, full stove-top and oven, dishwasher and also a washing machine, all per the listing description. Andrea directed us to a good supermarket nearby and there are restaurant options in the vicinity too. As previously mentioned by other guests, don’t miss the pizza slices at GeGe and the sensational choice of gelato flavours at Torcé (highly recommend the various dark chocolate varieties)!
Andrea, our contact on Marco’s behalf, was so charming and helpful - we couldn’t have had a nicer welcome to Rome. Communication with Andrea was swift and easy throughout. He was there to give us a friendly welcome on arrival and show us the house and also popped by the following day, when we had an issue that he promptly fixed. If you are visiting Rome and are looking for a stylish and comfortable stay and convenient base from which to explore the city, away from the tourist trail, we can definitely recommend Marco’s place - it was hard to leave!
