Staying at Marisa place was perfect! On the shared Taxi there everyone was really jealous that we were staying in such a central location. You are five minutes from the Colosseum (we went every night just to see it lit up in the dark). From Marisa's apartment you can walk to most of the main tourist attractions. You will probably only need to use the bus to get to the vatican. There is one bus that goes straight there and Marisa's Husband showed us where to get it from on the map.

The apartment itself is just the right size. The bathrooms are private(so only for your room). They are small but again you don't need a lot of space. There isn't really a kitchen but you won't stay in to eat anyway. We got a free breakfast during our trip which was a nice added touch.

Everything about our stay was great! We kept saying "aren't we lucky we found Marisa's place" If you're hesitating, I wouldn't! It is genuinely a great place to stay whilst in Rome.
