I highly recommend Marco's place! Clean, comfortable room with a well equipped/fully functional private bathroom in a beautifully decorated apartment! The courtyard/patio is huge and just gorgeous! The apartment is located in a beautiful part of Rome with old buildings and winding cobblestone roads, surrounded by lots of bars, restaurants and markets steps away. The location is perfect for sightseeing- I walked to all the tourist sites I wanted to visit (the furthest one was about a 20 min walk). Marco himself is a wonderful host! Very friendly and communicative, since he knew I was traveling alone, he went out of his way to show me around. I felt very welcomed in his home and his community. I highly recommend with no reservations!
