Loved this place! The apartment was exactly as described. Marco was very responsive to all communications. Daniele, Marco's brother, met us at the apartment when we arrived. He was so helpful and took the time to not only show us around the apartment but also to tell us about the area and make recommendations for local restaurants, bars, bakeries, etc. He also left us a bottle of wine as a lovely welcome gift. There are a lot of books and maps at the apartment about Rome to also help you plan your trip. The terrace is beautiful and the view is absolutely amazing. The location is fantastic - a short 3-5 min walk and you are at the Colosseum. The Forum is minutes away and there are countless quality restaurants nearby. Having a washing machine was great as well. The shower is a little small but has lots of hot water and good water pressure. While there is an elevator, there are some stairs to get to the elevator and it does not go all the way to the top floor. You have to take a flight of stairs to get to the top floor - but it is well worth it. Fantastic stay and we will definitely be back.
