The location was superb, as it is in the middle of all the sites. The neighborhood was nice, with a grocery store directly across the street. Lots of restaurants and shopping in the vicinity. I was nervous, as the profile said there was no air conditioning, and the weather was very hot. But Marina had an indoor air conditioner installed, and I couldn't be more grateful for it. It is a very tight spiral staircase to get up to the loft, so this might not be a good fit for someone who can't lift/pull their luggage, or perhaps an elderly person. Nor is the kitchen space big enough to cook anything elaborate. But for the price, location, and comfortable amenities, it was everything my friend and I needed. If I ever come back to Rome, I would gladly stay at Marina's again. Oh, and thanks for letting us check in two hours early!
