Sarah made us feel very welcome and was very sweet & kind. Her boyfriend Brando got us set up & welcomed us to the home. It is nice to stay in a place with an elevator as well. As far as Monti, we really liked this neighborhood. It is very close to Tremini station, and also walkable to many of Rome's major sites (thirty minutes or less). We hung out in a few of the neighborhoods bars, among the locals, and had a stand out time.
