Marlene was a great host. She pointed out the local features and good eateries, and helped with getting tickets to the Colosseum. It was clearly important to her that we not only had a good place to stay, but that we enjoyed our stay in Rome. We enjoyed the apartment; the kitchen was well stocked, and fun to cook in. We found it was an excellent location. It was very close to the Pantheon, Campo de Fiori (wonderful market by day, vibrant restaurant district by night). Right down the street was Piazza S. Eustachio, with eateries, our daily gelato, and church where we took in two free concerts. We recommend this host and apartment.
