Marianna is a wonderful host. She is great at communication and responds promptly. Her loft is stylish and has all the accommodations (iron, hair straightener, blow dryer, coffee maker). Her place is well thought out for our comfort. It is close to the metro and bus stations. There are several bars and restaurants, as well as fresh produce markets, nearby. It will be a good place to stay if you want to see Rome but do not want the noise and constant hub.
