My girlfriends and I stayed at Marcos place for a week while visiting Rome. Marcos son welcomed us to the apartment, there was wine and some snacks waiting for us when we entered. Marco's son gave us information on where to eat, what to see and explained the transit system to us, which helped us tremendously while touring the city. The apartment was exactly like the pictures, it was so nice and clean. The area around the apartment was very quiet and felt very safe. The restaurants were also very good, authentic italian!! The apartment is also about a 15 minute walk to the colesseum and the train stations, which was very nice. We walked a lot to the major tourist attractions from the apartment. I would recommend Marcos place to anyone visiting Rome, it is in the perfect location and has everything you would need! You will not regret picking Marcos place!
