My 10-year old son and I recently spent a week in Rome and wanted a place that made us feel "at home" in the city (not a hotel or in a touristy area). Marco's place was perfect. Nicely furnished in a contemporary style, looks exactly like the pics. Marco picked us up from the airport and before taking us to the apartment, he drove us around a bit to get us familiar with the area, the metro, bus and tram stops (all very conveniently located a block away from the apartment), and then he gave us a map of the area - showing us where the local grocery (just two blocks away) and other shops are located. Marco was an extremely helpful host. He even gave us information about and directions to a water park in case I wanted to take my son there one day, which I did (and it was a fun break from the July heat). Overall, great experience. Thanks again Marco.
