Marina is a fantastic host. Our apartment was very clean, elegant, well-organized, spacious and close to the Villa Borghese and the zoo. Free street parking for our rental car was readily available during our August stay as many Romans are on holiday during this period. Our apartment, in this beautiful old, stately house with marble and parquet floors, has been modernized with the conveniences of air conditioning (which we used sparingly as energy is a concern in Italy at this time), kitchen, washing machine and dishwasher. The apartment is conveniently located near the Piazza di Popolo. A tram runs in front of the apartment which is very convenient for those using public transportation. Inside the gated entrance, there is a lovely garden walkway. Marina provides a folder with ideas for where to eat (a most important part of the Italian experience), and cultural activities for both adults and children. Marina speaks very good English and is easy to contact. Even though our time of evening arrival to the apartment was delayed by several hours, Marina was gracious enough to stay up late and greet up at the apartment and explain everything we needed to know about our stay. Although the Wi-Fi connection is limited to only one side of the apartment, we did not find it a problem. I would highly recommend this apartment for those who wish to travel with style and feel welcome to this beautiful country. For American travelers, I gave this apartment 5 out of 5 stars. For Italian travelers (who have a different rating system) I would give 10 out of 10 stars.
