We had a great time staying at Marco's place in Rome. It was a fantastic location, closer to the Coliseum than we had thought, yet on a quiet street. It was a contemporary apartment with very easy-to-use appliance and features. It was ideal for our party of six people.
Marco's friends were very accommodating and allowed us to arrive a little earlier directly after our flight.
A supermarket is close by, as are wonderful restaurants. It's a quick walk to Ancient Rome and very easy to get to other sites via foot, metro, or streetcar. We especially enjoyed our evening strolls down the Via Dei Fori Imperiale to Piazza Venezia.
It was also a convenient taxi ride to the train station.
