The Monte dei Zingari apartment was delightful and very well managed. Barbara was more than an excellent host and incredibly helpful, meeting our repeatedly changing arrival times kindly. The apartment is located in a lovely area of ancient Rome (indeed where the bulk of Romans lived in ancient Roman times); wandering in the neighborhood makes you live like a real Roman. Stepping out and seeing the Colosseum in the near distance is a big bonus. Walking distance to many major sites. The furnishings are good and comfortable. The bathroom and kitchen nice and efficient. Although we did not use it, there is a washer; not clear how one would dry the laundry after the wash. Web connection was good and simple. Advice for eating in the neighborhood was given readily and welcomed, although I am actually Roman by birth and did not need much overall. Barbara helped with arranging for transportation to the airport. We would certainly stay there if we had the opportunity and we would recommend it without a doubt to our friends. Thank you, Barbara!
