Marco and Alessia are the consummate hosts - they were quick to respond with answers to questions before the trip, helpful with directions/tips/suggestions once we were in Rome, and also incredibly thoughtful in helping to book a cab to the airport for the trip home. Their apartment is great, spacious, and very clean -- a friend and I stayed there very comfortably in our spacious beds and we even had our own bathrooms. The apartment is centrally located in the city, in Monti, and is in walking distance from most everything. It was my first time in Italy and I was continuously floored by the beauty of the city, and the juxtaposition of so many ruins and historically significant structures (the Coliseum! Trevi Fountain! Pantheon!) strewn throughout the neighborhood. You can comfortably get around on foot or via metro and see so much - their apartment served to be the perfect home base for our time in Rome. We would definitely stay here again!
