My friend and I had a great time at Marco's family's apartment. They treated us kindly and the apartment was full of tasty treats and useful information. We especially thank Marco's mom for the delicious tiramisu!
The apartment was also very nicely furnished and had everything we needed. The surrounding neighborhood looked kinda sketchy, but we had no issues getting around at night. There is good food and a grocery store nearby, so that was convenient. My friend particularly enjoyed the sweets at the nearby Re Di Roma Metro stop. This was the best stay we had in our Italy vacation and we have Marcos and his family to thank for it.
