What a great few nights in Rome! Marco and Francesca are wonderful hosts: their responses were always prompt, they provided excellent information (including maps) with regards to how to get to their home, as well as plentiful resources on what to do in, and how to get around, Rome. The room itself is small, so perfect for one person. I didn't try to use the bus, which stops approximately 3 minutes from the house. Instead, I used the metro, approximately 10-15 minutes on foot. It was quite easy to get to just about anywhere as F & M's place is just several stops from Termini. Although I didn't get to meet Marco in person, Francesca was there to meet me and help me settle in-she's delightful! I also enjoyed a few morning runs in the area-there is a great walk/run/bike path that seems to go on and on. I would highly recommend staying with Francesca and Marco and would definitely book with them again, if their place is available next time I'm in Rome...
