Hard to say which we loved more: Marina's apartment or Marina the host. Let's just call it a tie and give them both gold medals.
As soon as we met Marina we felt as though we had a friend/contact in Rome who truly wanted us to enjoy our stay; not just in her home but also in her city. Her instructions on the apartment, transportation and the neighborhood were thorough.
From the second we took off our coats we felt at home.

The apartment is accurately described. The bed is comfortable. The bathroom and kitchen are functional and clean. The building is safe and quiet. The neighborhood is very quiet, felt safe and was well lighted. The train station/bus stop also felt safe and is well lighted (there were also Taxi's at this stop every time we walked past).
Marina's apartment is a calm, quiet oasis just minutes from the bustle and history that is Rome and Vatican City.
We highly recommend this host and space.
