We really enjoyed staying at Monica's place in Rome. It is in a cool part of town called Monti, with lots of great restaurants around, and a short walk away from the Colosseum (you can see it out the window!) and other major sites. It's also very close to a metro stop which made getting around to the train station and other places in town quite convenient. Monica provided us with a very detailed list of recommended restaurants, cafes and pizzerias that were in our area, which was super useful. She also has several guidebooks and maps that you can use while you're there. And the air conditioner worked wonderfully which was quite a relief after spending hours walking around Rome on a hot summer day! Overall a wonderful experience!
