Marcos place is about a 10 euro cab ride from the train station where my husband and I travelled from Florence. Marco was waiting for us at the door and kindly showed us inside. The first thing I will say is how safe I felt inside Marco’s building. There were multiple doors you had to use to enter which we appreciated. Once inside, Marco took his time explaining the city to us, showing us the maps and a nice book of tips he had put together. Additionally, Marco provided us with a bottle of wine and “K-cups” for each morning.
The apartment was a perfect size for my husband and I, the photos are very accurate. It was neat and tidy and had all basic amenities you would require. Eg, we made eggs each morning, I used an iron for some clothing, the air con was nice to come home to after a hot day, and the wifi worked really well.
The bed was comfortable and there wasn’t much noise we heard at night time or during the day.
In terms of location, there is a grocery store very close with everything you need. We love to walk so walked everywhere (Colosseum 15 min), except took the metro to Vatican City and it was very cheap and easy to use.
Marcos place is conveniently close to the train station and just far enough from the very busy crowds that Rome has.
Marco was an excellent host. Highly recommend!!
