Marco’s 8th floor penthouse flat was lovely and our family of 6 really enjoyed our stay there! There was plenty of room for each of us to have lots of space and be comfortable. The view is beautiful. The apartment is bright and open and filled with luxurious touches, especially the nice oversized towels and lots of large pillows on each bed. The kitchen is well stocked and full of everything one could need for cooking. The space was so nice we were always torn between staying in and cooking and eating out. It is about a 5 minute or less walk to the metro stop, and a 5 minute walk to the train station. Right across the street is a very busy 24 hour supermarket filled with all the Italian specialities. There are also the outdoor markets each morning with tons of produce, meats, breads, pasta, etc about a 10 minute walk. There is much to explore within the local neighborhood in every direction. It has more of a local scene and is a few metro stops from the center. It was very nice to leave the crowds after a day in the center and come back to a neighborhood still buzzing with energy but with hardly any tourists. Marco was a great host and was very accommodating. Overall we loved our week here and would definitely pick this spot again on our next trip to Rome!
