Marco is a most wonderful person and a perfect host. It is clear that he is committed to ensuring that his guests have a comfortable stay and a good experience while in Rome. He has thought of everything and seems always available to help and to give advice and tips. Photos are accurate and the lodgings are impeccably clean.
I am a repeat customer and both times have stayed in the smaller guest room, which comes with private bathroom just across the hall, as well as access from the room to a lovely balcony terrace with many potted plants, cafe table and chairs and a lovely view of rooftops. Marco very kindly made the effort to provide me with yogurt for my breakfast, on top of the usual offering.
While the location of Marco’s flat is just a couple of blocks north of the train station, the street is surprisingly quiet and the area has never felt unsafe to me — I walk everywhere when I’m in Rome and often don’t get back to my lodgings until 10:30 or 11pm (I’m a 65 year woman traveling alone).
The location is quite close to the central bus and metro stop next to the train station, and Marco provides maps and schedules for use by guests. I use the train from and to the airport, as well as to travel to areas outside of Rome, which makes Marco’s flat extremely convenient for me. But I like to walk rather than take buses, so as to be able to see much more, and so I appreciate the central location of Marco’s flat.
There are enough good places to eat nearby when one has just arrived or wants an early night. There are also good options (including later at night) on the second floor of the train station 2 blocks from the flat, as I learned from Marco. Bottom line, Marco’s flat ticks off all boxes for me. I very much look forward to returning to my home in Rome.
