Marco was an excellent and accommodating host; the flat was spacious, clean, and its terrace is quite large with good views of the colosseum. Location is convenient for both Ancient Rome and public transit.
A day or two before our arrival, Marco messaged us to help us arrange transportation to the flat. We were coming from elsewhere in Italy so he shared details for taking a cab. Marco and Daniel were waiting for us outside the unit when we arrived.
Marco and Daniel gave us a quick tour of the apartment (and the views from the terrace) and then gave us an overview of the popular sights and possible itinerary using a map on the coffee table. Marco recommended several restaurants in the neighborhood and offered to help us with reservations if we needed. They’ve stocked the apartment with numerous other resources for tourists, including guidebooks, maps, and a book of restaurants’ business cards.
We had a good bit of rain for our visit and it was chilly in the evenings but we enjoyed the time we were able to spend on the spacious terrace. The night (and day) views of the Colosseum are awesome and help to really being home that feeling of being in Ancient Rome.
The walk to the Colosseum is quick from the apartment. For rainy days / activities further afield, you’ve got at least three metro stops within roughly 600-700m from the place. The immediate neighborhood is pretty quiet but you’re a couple blocks from restaurants, theater, supermarket, etc.
The apartment was clean and generally spacious. Bed was especially comfortable. Marco provided Nespresso pods and the (small) kitchen is stocked with anything you’d likely need to cook.
Marco was super flexible with our departure and allowed us to leave our bags while we toured Rome some more on our last day before heading to the airport. We appreciated his flexibility but recognize this is contingent upon the arrival of subsequent guests.
We highly recommend this flat and Marco as a host!
