Marco's place is exactly and exceeded of what I saw from the photos. The place is impeccable and clean. If you plan to do some simple cooking , the kitchen is well stocked with basic ingredients like Olive oil, spices, salt & pepper. The warmth welcome is second to none. A bootle of Proseco welcomes me during my arrival and the Krups Capsule Coffee Machine is great for early morning coffee fix. The Internet is really a life saver as traveling for a conference / work or even trying to get in touch with family / friends back home is really vital with a well connected internet. I love the idea that they have name card of the apartment and it comes in handy when we need to hand this to the taxi . I was given great tips on the area around the apartment and the Coliseum is just a 10-15 minutes walk away from the apartment. Many popular land marks like the Vatican City , the fountain and Spanish Steps are just a 10-15 minutes by taxi. During the last day, I was not feeling well and Marco was flexible for me to extend my check out time to accommodate my request which helps greatly . I cannot thank Marco enough for being so kind. I also book both my arrival and departure airport transportation via Marco and it is very convenient and as a lady traveling alone for a conference not familiar with Rome as yet, I feel very safe during the trip. Other great tips staying here : There is a laundry shop next to the apartment , it could come in handy if one plan to stay longer. There are several Gourmet shops, deli , supermarket near the area. Lots of great restaurants in the area as well. A very great stay at Marco's apartment. Will certainly be back with the whole family and will not hesitate to friends ,family or any one who plans to visit Rome.
