We had a great stay at Marco 's apartment - Marco was a very helpful host and the accommodation was very nice. The apartment is in a good area (nearest metro stop is Libia - about 5-10min walk from the accommodation). The Colosseum is about 15min away by metro and all the sites are within walking distance from there. There are 2 good grocery stores near the apartment and at least 3 restaurants. This is the perfect base for those wanting to explore Rome and beyond. Breakfast in the morning was a great addition too!
