Our stay at Marco's place was very memorable! The place is as pictured and clean most importantly! This was an impromptu trip to Rome so we booked a day prior to arriving to Rome. Despite the short time frame between booking and arriving Marco and his people kept in good communication and made the place available to us as soon as possible. They even allowed us to store our luggage in their office while we waited for the apartment to be ready! Our most favorite thing about Marco's place was the neighborhood, it has many bars and restaurants a good mixture of people and it was very lively and vibrant (this was in summer). Some suggestions: if you are staying more than a few days you may want to pack your own towels or extra towels. Also their was AC in the forward part of the apartment but it wasn't very powerful so I preferred to sleep in the living room area on the sofa bed because the fan was really good. Keep in mind we visited Rome during record high temperatures of 106. Overall we had a good experience staying at Marco's and getting around.
