Marco and his family were extremely welcoming and attentive during our stay at his apartment. Prior to our stay we were given lots of information on Rome itself as well as how to get to the apartment from the airport (one direct train straight to the neighbourhood with a 5 minute walk to the apartment)

We were welcomed by Marco's mother who showed us around and gave us lots of information that was very helpful! There was also a bottle of wine and snacks waiting for us which was lovely. The apartment itself was very clean and tidy, the bed was very comfortable, large bathroom and shower which seems to be hard to find in Rome and plenty of room overall. The balcony off the kitchen was definitely a nice touch to sit outside and have breakfast or a drink after a long day of walking around Rome!

We were treated to a homemade bottle of wine as well as homemade tiramisu made by Marco's mother herself due to them having some maintenance visits during our stay. These didn't effect us at all but they made sure we were treated for the MINOR inconvenience!

The location itself was great if you like a little peace and quiet away from the tourists in the centre but still with great transport connections. The walk to the colosseum took about 30 minutes and there's a nearby metro stop a few minutes walk away from the apartment which takes you to the main station. We were recommended a local restaurant around the corner where we visited on our first night which was a lovely small, traditional Italian with delicious pasta and wine at a very reasonable price!

We would overall definitely recommend staying at Marco's apartment! Thank you Marco and his family!
