We just got back from Marco’s apartment and everything you read in the reviews and see in the pictures is accurate. The apartment is on the first floor of a tall apartment building with a very secure building across the street. Only one restaurant on the street but within 5 to 10 minutes of lots of restaurants, groceries and the metro stop Manzoni. We walked with our kids our first night to the Colosseum through a nice park and it took us about 10 minutes total. From there, the heart of Rome is only another 20 minutes to 30 minutes of amazing sights! Beds were comfortable and the apartment nice and quiet with modern amenities. We’d stay again in a heartbeat.
