Marco's place was very nice. We had everything we needed to spend a lovely weekend in Rome. It's right next door to the Coloseum, but on a quiet road near a police station. The bed was decent, pillows a bit flat for me but ok. The shower had nice, hot water which you don't always get when traveling. He also had a personal touch of greeting us, which was nice. Overall we had a great stay. I would just note that he does charge a city tax when you get there of £3.50/person/day.
