Marco was a wonderful host!! I can't say enough good things about how organized he was, he had a manual on the use of the apartment, a phone in case we needed to get in touch with him, and that was on top of going over everything with us when we arrived. We were fascinated by the remodeling and the book that showed how it looked before and after. It is such an experience to be so close to ancient architecture! We explored Rome all day and then came home to something just as beautiful! The apartment is comfortable and has everything you could want or need. The kitchen was good for small meals but not for big meal prep-not a lot of counter space-we enjoyed sitting on the terrace enjoying the nice weather in the mornings and evenings-there was a theatre that operated in the evenings that had music but it stopped at a reasonable time, might be a fun place to check out. The bed is comfortable, the tv has all Italian channels, we mostly listened to the provided radio, many great stations. The subway station is close and Marcos directions were very precise. He was very good about communicating with us, I never waited very long for a response from him. We really enjoyed our stay.
