Monti is a lovely neighborhood that is close to lots of shops, restaurants, gelato places and within walking distance of most everything you'd want to see (and close to the metro if you want to take a train) but the area still feels quaint. The apartment is beautiful, airy, spacious and well-equipped. There were two of us and I had the pullout couch which was sufficiently comfortable for good sleep. We were there in the hot time of the month but the apartment never felt too warm. We had a wonderful trip and loved staying here. I would definitely book here again if I had a chance to go back to Rome. Our hosts were also lovely and we had everything we could need from them.
