Carolina & Marco were very welcoming. They were waiting on us when we arrived from the airport. Marco speaks very good English and helped us get to the market, bus stop, etc. The location is great, there is a small grocery store (fresh meats & cheeses) and a Pizzeria right across the street. Bus stop is close and its about a 10 minute walk from the Metro. The city walls and St. Johns are within walking distance and the Colosseum isn't too far away. The apartment is the nicest one I've stayed in whiles visiting Rome, which says a lot (this is my 6th time going to Rome).
