Marissa and her husband were very nice and welcoming, and Reno (the husband) was even waiting for us in the street. We spent 5 nights in a room with private bathroom that was sharing a hallway and small living with another similar room (unoccupied at the time).

The most amazing thing was the location of the apartment: next to the Collosseum. We were able to walk everywhere.

The room and its bathroom were clean and Marissa even changed the towels and tidied up while we were there.

The breakfast at the nearby bar was decent, and for us more than enough: pastries and coffee. I think we could have asked for toast, butter and yogurt but we did not find it necessary.

You may want to bring earplugs for the night. Although the area is not VERY noisy, there is a restaurant right outside.

If I go back to Rome this is where I would chose to stay again!
