The second stay in Marco's place was as nice as the first one last year. The appartment was clean, warm and cosy, with all conforts. The neighbourhood near Piazza Re di Roma is not touristic but well connected with the city center by bus and metro, 5 - 10 min to the Tuscolana station for the airport train. Via Appia Nuova is an eccelent shopping street. I definetely recommend Marco's place for an easy stay in the middle of Roman everyday life.
