Marina was a gracious hostess! My sister and I were staying here as part of my sister's college graduation trip and Marina upgraded our room as her gift to my sister. We had the loveliest room with the bathroom ensuite, which was a very nice surprise. Breakfast was perfect, yogurt, pastries, coffee and tea. Marina gave maps of the immediate surrounding area, noting good restaurants, markets, and bars and well as subway stops. She also provided a large map of the city to help us find our way, with a list of recommended restaurants in different neighborhoods of the city. We very much enjoyed our stay with Marina and will certainly stay again if we find ourselves in Rome!
