Marco's apartment is wonderful and exactly as described on his Air BnB page. However, it is the location that is outstanding, you are a few meters from the Forum and just along the way is the Coliseum. We walked everywhere in Rome, Including the Vatican City and could not have had a better base than Marco's apartment. If you want a hotel, then the Hotel Forum is just round the corner, I have stayed there and have paid twice as much for a tiny room, I know which I would prefer to come back to.
