We were not able to meet Marco during our stay as he was traveling himself but his uncle met us for check-in. He was very friendly and got us settled in while Marco was in contact with me over Airbnb during the stay.

The apartment is very nicely renovated and was a great place for the two of us during our time in Rome. We found the location to be excellent with quick access to the Metro and friendly shops all within walking distance. It was a bit dark walking back at night but we never felt unsafe.

A couple items to note:
-There is construction underway on the apartment building which did make quite a bit of noise in the mornings. This wasn't a big issue for us because it helped us get up and out to enjoy Rome but if you are planning to sleep in it could be a problem.
-The hot water ran out quickly so staggering our showers was necessary.
-As Marco says in the listing there is a 3.50 euro tax per person for each night in Rome. Marco's uncle also reminded us about this at check-in. This is not included in the amount paid through Airbnb so make sure you have cash to pay this when you check-out.

Overall this was a good place for us and we were happy with our stay.
