I want to cover the following three aspects in my review of Marcos' beautiful apartment: Marcos (the host), the apartment itself, and the location.
I will start with Marcos: in all aspects of the term, Marcos is a true "super host." He is extremely responsive to all questions, delightfully friendly, and true to his word. He was present the day that we arrived, helped us move our bags up to the apartment, and recommended an excellent local place for a quick bite on our arrival day. Marcos made us feel truly welcomed.
The apartment is just as beautiful as it appears in the pictures. What surprised us was how big the bedrooms were, as well as, how big the apartment was. Initially, we felt that the setup of the bathrooms was strange since both bathrooms are on the West side of the apartment and all three bedrooms were on the East side, but it was not a big deal, just different. The kitchen was well-equiped and Marcos even made sure that we had some snacks! He really is a super host!
Now, the Esquillino area, where the apartment is located, is not the greatest, but it is right next to the Rome Train Station, which makes it very convenient for those that use mass transit. All major attractions are a short cab ride away, if you prefer.
In summary: I would blindly recommend this apartment to anyone.
