can't say enough about Marco and his brother as our hosts. The first day we arrived, they refused to let us take our luggage up to the apartment which in Europe is a challenge even with a lift because they aren't much bigger than a phone booth. Once up at the apartment, they went to great lengths to show us absolutely everything and how it works from the A/C to the espresso machine and even provided the espresso for us to enjoy. Marco had a basket of European adapters for American appliances (even telling us to take one with us his pleasure), a notebook full of restaurant cards for places surrounding the apartment and wrote on there what they were known for. One of the places we went to, Marco wrote his name on the back and wrote the name of the chef and said to ask for him and tell him Marco set us. "Any friend of Marco is a friend of mine and at the end of dinner, brought out a complimentary shot of authentic Lemoncello to have a Salut! The apartment was exactly as advertised with a huge terrace overlooking the Colloseum. The place was spotless and included a washer so we could do some
Laundry on this 35 day tour of Europe. When we come back to Rome, I will be contacting Marco again
