My family thoroughly enjoyed our ten day stay in Rome. Marco & Alessia's place is ideally situated, being right next to the Forum, colloseum and Palantine Hill. Indeed many of the well known Rome landmarks were within walking distance. The apartment is small, but functional, being divided by a steep staircase into the sleeping area upstairs and living area (including sofa bed, where our daughter slept) downstairs. One bathroom on each floor was very handy. The place may not suit a long stay for a family, however, as room is at a premium. Alessia met us on a thunder storming evening when we had arrived later than we anticipated. She and Marco were most gracious, and easily contactable by email. The apartment presented just as represented in the photographs, and was clean and well kept.
