We had a great time staying at Marco's place in Roma! The apartment is beautiful and even nicer than the pictures. He left us guidebooks, a bottle of wine (and an opener -- thank you!) and everything was spotless when we arrived. The apartment is wonderfully situated and within walking distance of great restaurants, a beautiful fountain and subway access. His doormen were also extremely friendly and helpful. Because the apartment is on the 6th floor, it has great views and lots of sunlight too. If you're a light sleeper, this might not be the right place for you -- it's located on a fairly busy street and the noise from cars in the evenings can be a little loud. It eventually quiets down and didn't bother us too much. Would highly recommend staying here!
