Going to another country can be exciting and frightening at the same time, but thanks to Marco, it was a wonderful experience. We needed a place to stay while in Rome for a few days, Marco’s place was perfect. He greeted us with a big smile as soon as we arrived at the Pasticceria and gave us a tour of the room. The place was clean, comfortable and very secure, he also went out of his way to give us detailed information and map of the area that came in real handy. Having access to the kitchen was a big bonus, all our needs were met. Buses, metro and cabs were easily accessible.
We always looked forward in the morning for our breakfast pastries, my favorite was the croissant with chocolate cream, very light and flaky. In the evenings we would pop in and buy some of the gelatos in the shop, the pineapple and cherry were so delicious. Everyone was friendly and helpful, we felt very welcomed.
Although we didn’t get to see Marco much during our trip, it was an absolute pleasure meeting him and staying in his lovely apartment. He was a great host, very helpful and welcoming. If we are ever in the area again, we will look forward to meeting him once more and hopefully sit down for a nice chat with some of his wonderful pastries.
