My family of 5 had a fabulous stay at Marco's apartment in Rome. The location can not be beat! It's on a darling street with cafes and shops, yet the apartment is quiet as it is set back in the building. The layout of the apartment enabled us to spread out and get some personal space which we all appreciated after days in busy Rome. My kids felt comfortable going around the corner on their own to the cafe Marco suggested (and provided tickets for coffee/pastry daily- thank you!). It has the charm of a really old Roman building, but with that comes some drawbacks. It's been an unusually rainy spring in Rome, and the air in the apartment smelled damp at times. Marco mentioned that he is working on that, and so that may have been simply our experience there and not something future guests would notice. Overall, it was a nice place to stay with comfortable beds and two bathrooms. Marco was kind, hospitable, readily available and a delight to work with.
