Marina’s apartment was perfect for our 2+ week stay in Rome. The neighborhood is quiet and beautiful. The apartment is on top of a building across the street from the Orangery which is at the top of the Aventine hill, so the views are amazing. We enjoyed the terrace even in chilly January. We had everything we needed for our stay, and got immediate responses to the few questions we had. Our base for coffee, groceries, gelato etc was Testaccio, but there is easy access to the rest of Rome by bus or metro. The forum is a fairly easy walk away. We have visited Rome several times, and it was such a pleasure to come home to peace and quiet after a day among the crowds and noise of a busy city. We will definitely stay here again next time we come to Rome!
