Our time in Rome was great thanks to Marina’s awesome apartment. It was very clean and felt very secure. We’re not sure if it was a bad neighborhood or if there was just a lot of graffiti, but we never felt uncomfortable once we were inside.

Nearby is an amazing pizza place, Pizzarium, that you should definitely visit while staying here. It’s also a very, very short walk to the Vatican museum, and close to bus and metro lines, so you have easy access to the entire city.

In all the apartments we stayed in while on our vacation, Marina easily had the largest, nicest shower (something very welcoming after a long time away from home).

Marina provided us with a hairdryer so we didn’t have to worry about getting one that could handle the difference in voltage.

Only two of us were in the apartment, so we didn’t have access to the second bedroom, but if it’s at all like the rest of the apartment, it’s clean and very well kept up.
