This was our first AirBnB booking and experience. We are so grateful that it was such an incredible adventure!

Marco is a man that loves his city and loves guests. From the moment that we met him he was nothing but kind and enthusiastic. It felt more like we were coming to meet family, and not rent an apartment from a stranger.

Marco, prior to arrival, was constantly accessible by email and text messaging; and because of this open communication it made coming to Rome relaxed.

We had elected to take the bus to Termeni station where Marco so kindly picked us up to take us to the apartment. He was filled with jokes and conversation and within 5 minutes we were invited to coffee near the apartment.

It was at the coffee shop that he explained all of the wonderful neighborhood restaurants, grocery stores, bakeries and gelato shops. He also explained the public transportation towards the center of Rome.

We discovered that bus C3, 113 and 62 all took us directly into the center of Rome near all the great sites like Campo di Fiori, Plaza Venezia and Plaza Navano.

All of this was prior to entering the apartment, which was filled with warmth, cleanliness, brightness, and COMFORT! We looooved the apartment! Literally, it looks just like the pictures. Marco works very hard to keep the apartment meticulous.

He also was very thoughtful and left the fridge filled with juices, the bread basket filled with pastries and a bottle of wine to put us in better spirits.

The apartment is in a great location from city center. No more than 15 minutes by bus or if you want to you could get a cab.

The neighborhood was just as charming. Do not expect people to speak English, but that did not stop us from conversing and laughing with the locals.

Besides the great ambiance, Marco was such a great host. He was always willing to take the time to answer our questions and even took us for a ride in his car around the city. He showed us areas that many tourists do not have a chance to see when they are in Rome.

Marco also has the foresight to realize that a lot of his guests do not have Internet. So, he purchased a mobile wifi unit that you can take with you around the city and have constant access to Secure Internet. Pure Genius!

Honestly, we wished we would have had more time to spend with Marco and learn more about the city because he is a great tour guide.

Marco also was wiling to sacrifice sleep to take us to the airport at 4:30 in the morning. And once again, when he took us he was full of energy and jokes. Brilliant!

We loved Rome, we loved the apartment, we loved how entertaining Marco was towards us.

100% we would come back and stay at the same apartment!
