Marina was really easy to deal with and very quick with her responses. She greeted us with a home made cake and bottle of pro seco. The flat is fantastic! Clean, has everything you need, secure block, lift, great beds and shower and in a safe area. It is a 10 minute walk from the Vatican but the Metro and Bus are only a short walk around the corner. Suggest getting a 24,48 or 72 hour transport card which you can use on buses and trains. Lovely little cafes around which are not touristy. Would definitely recommend both Marina as a host and her lovely flat as a great base for your Rome trip.
