Marco and Alessia made our short time in Rome special. Their apartment is a half block from the Forum and a short walk to the Colosseum. It is convenient to the Cavour subway stop, and so access to many other sights is easy. The apartment has a number of nice features, including two full bathrooms and a common area for meals and relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. Alessia met us at the apartment, allowing for an early check in, and gave us a very helpful tutorial on sights that we might not have taken advantage of without her advice. She also provided a thorough introduction to the apartment features so that we had no questions about how to use them. She also gave us some very nice welcome gifts of wine and and holiday dessert. We would definitely ask to stay there again if we make it back to Rome.
