Everything was great. Marco met us at the apartment and went over everything with us including things in the neighborhood to do. The place was clean and in a great location. You can walk to the Colosseum and the Metro station in a little over five minutes, which takes you all over the city. There are several restaurants and pubs all within a few minutes walk. There is also a grocery store two blocks away if you want to buy food and Marco had plenty of cookware at the house which we used to make breakfast in the morning. He met up with us again when our taxi arrived to take us to the airport. Parking is a real challenge, however, if you have a car, but you really don't need a car in Rome. You can get where ever you want on the public transportation.

Excellent experience and I would definitely recommend staying at his place if you plan on visiting Rome.
