We visited Rome for the first time in July 2023. We are a family with kids 12 and 15 years old. So what we needed was a family room capable of housing us all comfortably. Looking at different options finally found MarcoAurelio49. Although not a hotel they still offer breakfast and have reception which is open until 11pm. Also the location intrigued us, just 5 mins walk from the Colosseum. First, arriving; looked into Leonardo express from Fiumicino, that would’ve cost us 40 Euros plus you probably need a taxi from Termini or you need to take Metro and walk some with all the luggage. MarcoAurelio49 can arrange you a taxi from airport for an affordable price (either a sedan or van). Van was best for us because of our luggage and it was only 75 Euros, to front door of the apartment building (you pay to the driver, reserve cash for this). The staff is young and they speak good English. They give you a helpful map of the area, explain the public transport of Rome, point the main tourist attractions and can recommend you restaurants. Our room was at the top floor, great space, and had a big balcony with nice views. The bathroom has a hand shower next to toilet (no bidet) which suited us because as Finns we are used to that. Note that the apartment doesn’t have liquid soap or shower gel but there is a 24/7 store not far where you can buy those (and what ever you need). The breakfast is ordered using a web form the day before. It is very basic, but includes coffee pods (for the machine, there is also tea in the room), packaged ready toasted bread (this was a bit strange to us, the room has a toaster so buy toast from the store if you wish to toast bread yourself), fresh croissants, cereals and juice boxes. You get the breakfast bag yourself from the reception each morning. You can ask for cleaning, emptying the trash cans or change of linens if you need them. There is a kitchen with all the pans etc. if you wish to cook yourself (we didn’t). Kettle to boil water and microwave are also there. When we visited it was really hot every day, well over 30 degrees celsius, actually closer to 40 (35-37) so it was an excellent test for the AC in the room. Happy to tell you it worked like a charm. The room was nice and cool (you can control the AC with a remote) and it was like an oasis for us after long hot days seeing the sights. Also makes sleeping comfortable. The location of this apartment is very good. Colosseum 5 minute walk away. Also the Colosseo metro station from where you can travel to other destinations like closer to Vatican etc. We recommend you walk to the other side of the river and explore there the Trastevere area. Bocca Della Verita is also towards the river and not terribly far away. Then some negatives, that prevented us giving 5 out of 5 stars. The beds are pretty hard, at least too hard for our tastes. Second, the shower had sometimes a little trouble giving warm water. One night my wife couldn’t take a shower because there was only cold wat
