Marzia's place is a little outside of central Rome in Pigneto, which was perfect for us, as we wanted something a little more low key and less 'touristy'. Her place is hip, spacious, very clean, and welcoming. The apartment is super close to a great market, transit stops, and some good pizza (which is key!). We had no problem getting into central Rome to sight see. Marzia is friendly, helpful, and was prompt and on top of communication with us before and during the trip. She provided a great amount of resources for sights to see, restaurants to go to, even provided a map where she marked everything. She has two dogs but they are so sweet and quiet, and the place is so tidy you wouldn't be able to tell. It was a terrific stay and I would highly recommend Marzia's place for your trip to Rome!
