Marzia was a wonderful host! Prior to us arriving she had arranged a taxi transport from the airport and gave us helpful information for pre-purchasing tickets to various venues we wanted to visit so we could avoid the lines. and also helped with where to buy train tickets for other areas we were going to visit on our trip. Basically, anytime I had a question, she responded quickly with the information that helped to make our trip seemless. The apartment itself was in a great location. There were many restaurants and corner markets you could easily walk to. Her son Claudio met us at the apartment and helped us get settled in upon arrival. Overall I would recommend staying at Marzia's especially if it's your first time in Rome.
