All in all the Monte Terrace apartment was a great place to stay. The apartment was exactly as shown in the pictures. The climb to the apartment may be a bit of a challenge for the elderly. My wife and I are in our 60's and we were ok with the climb. Once in the apartment you feel the charm of old Italy with all of the modern conveniences. The air conditioning was a welcome relief to the hot days of Rome. We especially liked the area which had more of a local vibe. Good restaurants were in the area. From the apartment we were able to walk or take public transit to all historic sites. The hosts were very helpful especially making arrangements for getting us there from the airport. I would highly recommend the Monte Terrace apartment.
