This was our first AirBnB experience so naturally we had a bit of hesitation but I'm so glad that we booked Luca's double room with private bathroom. He was professional and the level of communication, from thanking me for the booking till me arriving 30mins earlier than initially anticipated, was reassuring and accommodating. I chose his apartment based on previous positive reviews and they are all spot on, from the location, comfortability and cleanliness. Sure there is a bit of noise from the street below but that's all part of the experience. I loved going to bed and waking up to the sounds of real Italy winding down or getting ready for work. It's not a massive tourist area so the sounds are real, genuine, things that myself and other travelers wish for when visiting new countries, yet close enough to take a casual walk to all the touristy places. There is an awesome little pizzeria across the street on the left and a little pub on the right, which for a budget traveller was a real find as they give you amazing meats, cheese and breads as bar snacks even if you're only there for two drinks. Needless to say we had many drinks there. There is a little Italian husband and wife owned store behind the apartment perfect for meats, cheeses, breads and wines to create your own lunches. The little side streets in Monti around Cavour Station with all it's quaint little street cafés, wine bars and restaurants is probably what we will miss the most about Rome. It was our first visit to Rome and Italy so if we stayed somewhere else, a more touristy area, maybe we would have had a different experience all together because Rome can blow your mind. All I can say is that I am so glad we stayed at Luca's apartment in Monti because our experience was unforgettable, even now while I'm writing this review in Cinque Terra. Luca is a great guy and we really enjoyed our chats together. He is so robe I will gladly invite to stay in my own home. Book his double room and bring your best walking shoes, you won't be sorry! We'll see you again, Luca!
