Marco was a wonderful host and his place is exactly as described. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and then some. He stocked the fridge, left us fresh fruit, wine, snacks. And if that wasn’t enough he even picked us up from the train station when the train was closed for repairs and the taxi que/line was 200 people deep. Definitely not expected and we are so grateful! Thank you for helping us start our trip out right!
He’s just such a nice guy as well. Would totally be friends with him outside of here. He gave us lots of suggestions for places to eat, visit, and explore. He checked in with us throughout the week and made sure all was well.
Pros: the place is beautiful and comfy. Has everything you need and special touches too. The bed is comfy! We got used to hard/firm beds in Italy, and this one was the comfiest we experienced. A+ for that! Water was hot, good water pressure, plenty of room in the space. And the location is perfect! It’s maybe 2 mins from Circus Maximus. You get to walk past it every day. Surreal. It’s close to everything! But far enough removed from the chaos as well. We walked everywhere. Loved it!
Cons: it’s hard to find anything wrong honestly. A couple of things I’d want to know perhaps: The shower is narrow but it’s the typical size in Italy. My husband is 6 foot and it was fine. The shower head moves up for taller people. If you’re larger bodied then it’s snug in there, just a heads up. But that’s the case everywhere we stayed. Otherwise it’s just fine. I saw reviews here asking about that. Occasionally we heard noise from the restaurant downstairs at night but it stopped pretty early so wasn’t a problem. And the neighbor upstairs turns on the tv at 6:30 am sharp. But again, wasn’t very loud. I’m just a light sleeper. It didn’t keep me awake. Otherwise the place is very quiet and cozy.
Highly recommend! Would definitely stay here again! We loved it! I hope this review helps! You honestly can’t go wrong here! Marco and his place are great!
I plan to put together a YouTube video documenting our actual Rome experience once we get home. Just mentioning in case it helps to see it that way too. I’m on YouTube at Marie Lynn (Marie2140). I’d 100% recommend you choose this place to stay for your Rome trip too!
Ciao!
