We had an amazing time staying at Marlène’s apartment. I could not believe the building itself is couple hundred years old! So much history behind its walls! Location is fantastic, as every major sites were within walking distance. I loved walking past the Pantheon everyday, which is literally 2 minutes from the apartment. Considering how the location is so central, the apartment is very quiet since the windows don’t face the streets. Couple days before arrival, Marlène provided detailed info regarding how to get to the apt, restaurants, and touristic sites. Upon arrival, she explained the city to us with a map. She even sent us a detailed train schedule for our return trip to the airport, and let us stay until the afternoon since our flight was in the evening (this was possible because no one was checking in that day). We stayed during December, but heater worked really well so we were never cold. Also, no problem with hot showers. I highly recommend her place to anyone who is planning to visit Rome.
