This was our first time to Rome and we had a difficult time getting from the airport to Marco's flat. There was a strike which shut down center city. Poor Marco was waiting for us. He was responsive with communications. Arriving at the flat was such a pleasant experience ! It was bigger than I expected. Having two large separate rooms- kitchen/ sitting area and bedroom was very nice. I loved the decor- fresh and new with a roman flair. We were very comfortable. The location is perfect. We walked everywhere! We did have some difficulty with the key but it worked. Marco was a good host and responded quickly to our questions. He provided directions which is difficult with all the little twisting streets of Rome's center city. But then that is the charm of it!
