First and foremost, thanks a lot to Monica for two amazing weeks in Rome!!
Monica’s apartment is located in Monti, which is a pleasant neighbourhood with many nice restaurants, bars, cafes and shops. A metro station and a bus stop are close by. If you enjoy walking, the main sights are easy to reach by foot. Communication with Monica was super easy, also, she made an early check-in possible for us. For one of our travellers, she arranged a car-service from the airport (which we asked her for help with); the driver was professional and prompt. In the apartment, Monica left us prosecco and Italian candy for us as a welcome gift, which was a very pleasant surprise. Also, the Rome travel guides that are available in the apartment were very much appreciated. The apartment is spacious and nicely furnished. Be aware that the bedrooms face directly onto the street and the windows are very thin, so it can get noisy. If you are a light sleeper, it is well-advised to bring ear plugs. We are all from very big cities and used to street noise, still, we were woken up by noise several times a night. One bedroom is equipped with a tempurpedic mattress, which was amazing; great for anyone with back problems! However, the mattress in the single bedroom is not suitable for guests with back problems. Given our lengthy stay, we were very happy to have a washing machine. In general, we were happy with our stay, but a number of minor improvements are needed in the unit. A dish drainer in the kitchen would be helpful, especially if you are planning on making breakfast or dinner at the apartment and need to wash dishes. The shower in the bathroom on the left side of the unit needs to be repaired and leaks after every use, no matter how short the shower. Although we tried to be very careful, we were unable to avoid leaking water and had to constantly mop up the water. We also ran out of laundry and dish detergent (very spare amounts were left for our stay), and ended up having to buy our own as there no extra supplies were left for us in the utility closet.
