Staying at Marco's place was great. He was flexible with check-in and check-out times. It was a great location that you can walk to major sights, it was on a quiet street, and it was in a secure building. The place was very comfortable. He had great books and movies too. I was backpacking and Marco's mom was so nice and did my laundry. She was very warm and welcoming. It was only one flight up, which can be hard to find in Europe. There was no kitchen, but I wanted to eat real Italian food and wasn't going to cook anyway.
