If you are looking for a great place outside the tourist-y city center, we highly recommend Marcello’s apartment! It is located on a main street in San Lorenzo, a wonderful neighborhood filled with locals and students. There are so many great restaurants and pubs just minutes away from the apartment, we really felt we were experiencing a more “local Rome” and we LOVED IT! There is also a bus to the city just one minute away from the apartment. Marcello’s place was clean and had everything we needed - clean towels and linens, kitchenware, heating.
We will definitely stay with Marcello again on our next trip to Rome!
