Marco's apartment was beautiful, clean, well stocked, and centrally located. The walk to the Colosseum was easy and short. The buses and metro were also easy to access. We had a great stay in Rome! Marco's brother met us and explained everything in the apartment and how to get around Rome. There is a book he showed us with itineraries of self guided tours of Rome. Using that book and our Rick Steve's guide book we were able to explore so much of the city!
