I stayed here for 6 nights, and I must say it was wonderful. Marco was a great host, keeping in contact with me all throughout my stay in Rome. Before I even arrived, he sent a few emails detailing major sights to see, good restaurants to go to, and how to get around the city. Marco doesn't live in Rome, and usually his father is the one who greets you at the apartment, but his father was out of town so it was his maid who greeted us. And she was wonderful too. Very nice, very informative on where things were in the apartment. We even had 2 bottles of wine and a bar of chocolate waiting for us on the kitchen table. Overall, it was a great experience staying here. The apartment is walking distance to the Colosseum and Roman Forum, and the rest of the sights you need to take a bus too. But there's a bus stop really close to the apartment so it is very convenient.
