Marco welcomed us and made us feel at home. The neighborhood had a busy street but since the apartment faced the other side and Marco installed dual glass windows which kept all the noise out. The place was very clean and neat. Macro lives in a separate apartment next door and if available if you need him for anything. Restaurants and a market are within a 5-15 minute walk. The Vatican was only a couple miles away. Parking was never a real issue; we always seemed to find some nearby. I did recommend to Marco to add a small refrigerator and microwave to the home which I thought would make it perfect. Marco did say he would certainly consider it.
