Marina was a warm, available and friendly host. Communication was really easy; the flat was beautiful and very clean; Marina was very organized; and, the kids loved all the treats she left. The air conditioning in both bedrooms was a real plus for Rome in July! The neighborhood felt very safe, was quiet and just a few blocks from the Metro stop, so that exploring the city without a car was simple! Definitely walkable to the Vatican area, and though we took a Metro deeper into the city one day, on another day we ended up walking from the flat to the Spanish Steps - so very convenient location!
