Marco's place did the job for a budget conscious traveller. Check in was easy as there is a reception at the front door from morning until around 11pm. The place was clean however we did get a bit itchy from the bed sheets. From an outsiders perspective the area feels a little rundown and unsafe (this may not be the case for a local). We chose this place to save a bit of money, but in hindsight a place closer to the centre of rome would of been better because the money that we saved on accom we ended up spending on taxis as my girlfriend felt uncomfortable about taking public transport home late at night. Also the apartment is on a street that seemed to get quite loud at night time. We we're only there for two nights so its possible we just got unlucky with that aspect. However, in saying this the receptionist was very nice and helpful. She booked us a taxi and gave us good advice about finding our way into the city centre.
