Marlene's place was simply amazing. Best location you could ask for (a block away from pantheon), very roomie house (there was only one of me but could easy house 3 or 4 people). Used the kitchen a couple times, was easy to use, clean, and get around! Marlene is amazing, though I did not meet her this trip, she provides the guest with a cell and welcomes you with a call. Lets you know that if there's anything you need, to give her a ring. Overall a+ house, a+ location, and a+ host! If your going to Rome, don't miss this great deal!
