Marco was a great host although we didn't get to meet him ourselves - he was great at getting in contact with us both before and when we arrived. As Marco was sick and couldn't meet us he had arranged for his girlfriend Emma to meet us and show us around which was great.

The apartment is small but a perfect base for exploring the city. It is only 10 minutes walk away from some of the best sights, such as Piazza Navona, the Forum, Il Vittorino and then on to the Colosseum. There are some really nice restaurants in the area too. The apartment was really clean and very well equipped with kitchen utensils and bathroom towels/hairdryer etc. It is quite a small place but everything fits perfectly and it is a very quirky place to stay. It is an old cellar in an old building, so you are underground and there is no natural daylight, but this is okay if you are only on a city break and perfect due to the location. It does sleep 4 people, and both the bed and sofa bed we very comfortable but if there are 4 people you might be tripping over each other a bit as floor space is limited!

Overall, it is a great, small apartment for using as a base in a short city break and has everything you'd need in a fantastic location.
