Marco's apartment was absolutely fantastic - I would highly recommend it . Don't even bother looking anywhere else. We are a family of 5 with 3 kids and we had a very comfortable 1 week stay.

The location of the apartment is very convenient, within walking distance of many sights like the colosseum, Circus Maximus and the forum. The metro is a 2 minute walk away and convenient for days when we were tired at the end of day and wanted quick transportation back. Was also great for when we were heading out to the Vatican Museum and St Peters and wanted to reserve our energy for all the walking we knew we will be doing.

The apartment is in a very nice building in a local neighborhood just off the tourist track so you feel you are living with the locals. There is a very vibrant vibe and it was interesting to walk past the many crowded restaurants filled with locals every day.

There was a big supermarket along the same stretch but we didn't really have to use it much as Marco had gone out of his way to stock up on chocolates, wine, beer, milk and soft drinks for us. The fridge was filled to the brim ! The pantry was also fully stocked with pasta, pasta sauce and all kinds of breakfast items. I couldn't believe how generous he was.

Marco was an absolutely fantastic host - he is definitely deserving of his superhost badge . He suggested many walking routes, restaurants, local Roman recipes to try at restaurants, many of which we tried and enjoyed. He messaged everyday to check that we were ok and offered to make restaurant reservations , book taxis or just help with anything we needed. He even went out of his way to check and help with the booking of tour tickets for us.

He was so generous with his time and sincere in wanting to make our stay a comfortable one - it was as if we were staying at a friend's house.
