We had a really lovely stay at Marco’s apartment. We wanted to be out of the hustle and bustle of the “heart of Rome” so really enjoyed the location. It is great for the day you’d like to visit the Vatican, but very nice for all other sites too, and the balcony is GREAT! We loved sitting there in the evenings. The apartment is very clean and comfortable and has nice personal touches.
My only warning would be that the ceilings we quite low in the bedroom and we are quite short and still felt this way (5’8 and 5’4). Unfortunately I scratched my brand new sunglasses right across the lens by having them on my head and bumping my head while walking around the bedroom. If you’re very tall - I’d suggest perhaps this wouldn’t be the best place for you, but then again it is not really in the bedroom that it’s a slight issue.
We walked everywhere because we love walking and seeing different routes but it was very well contacted by transport too.
If you’re looking for a cozy place in Rome out of the touristy hustle and bustle to really relax, we’d really recommend Marco’s place with the lovely balcony!
One small tip if you decide to stay, the keys can be a bit hard to use in the main building and front gate locks, so make sure you ask Marco on arrival if there is a button for the front gate to avoid needing the key to get out of the complex. We got locked in when trying to leave because of this as we only knew how to use the key to get out but a friendly neighbor helped us thankfully or we would have missed our train!
Thanks to Marco again for a great stay!
