We took Alvise's offer and had Daniela pick us up from the airport, which was great. Alvise was able to meet us early to check us in. The apartment was beautiful and had more than enough room for our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids). Monti was the perfect neighborhood for us - walkable to great sites, removed from the huge crowds, great access to various dining options and groceries. We walked everywhere - Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum. We even walked as far as Trastavere one day! We were able to easily grab the subway to make it to the Vatican for a 730a tour. The train station was a short walk as well. So many great local dining options - including Trieste for pizza, Zia Rosetta for sandwiches, Fatta Morgana for gelato, Chicco di Grano and Gli Angeletti for outdoor dining.
Shampoo/conditioner, soap, towels, coffee, spices, olive oil, balsamic vinegar - all were available.
Great stay for us!
