Marco was such a great host and his place was adorable. It’s in a very beautiful and safe part of Rome within walking distance of almost every attraction except the colosseum, which was a short taxi ride. The taxi station is right next door, as was the Piazza Navona where we spent the end of every day. We had Marco’s driver pick us up from the airport which took the stress out of finding a ride. Marco met us in person and since there was no elevator he helped me carry my large suitcase up the 3 flights of stairs. He was extremely helpful in giving us directions and advice. It was so nice being able to wash our clothes after all the traveling, he even provides detergent and gave me instructions for the washer/dryer. bring cash for the local tourist tax (same if you’re staying in Spain). The only downside was the steep stairs and the sofa bed being difficult to pull out but Marco helped with that too.
