Marco met us at the door and kindly let us change and leave our luggage as we arrived at 11am. The flat was cosy and full of thoughtful little things great for the city stay (like maps, umbrellas, store cupboard items, even a DVD of Roman Holiday). Location was brilliant, minutes from the Colosseum (we did a couple of early morning walks around there, before the crowds). Marco was eager to be of help to us throughout our stay. He organised a friend, Stephania, who is a registered tour guide, to provide two half-day tours - she was great with our children too. Good recommendations for local food. Felt in the hustle and bustle of Rome which we loved as it is in a lively area. Again able to leave our luggage once we had checked out for a late flight home. None of us wanted to leave and would love to return. Very good value for money in central Rome.
