What can I say, Marco is a fabulous host and has tried to think of nearly everything. The flat is very close to public transport and walkable to most of the major attractions (Colosseum -about 20 min max). It is very funky and Marco has most of the gadgets you need. There is a small wine fridge stocked with reds that you can drink for a very very reasonable price -cheaper than the restaurants. There is also a large supermarket nearby and as well as restaurants and cafes. Marco has provided a number of booklets with all the details. Given the fact that the Roman walls are exposed within the home itself, that should be sufficient incentive to stay a few nights here and soak up the history.
Ps. I was also able to cook in the flat and then enjoy the meal on the small balcony with my partner over a bottle of vino. This was a change from eating out all the time.
Thanks again Marco
