Charming location, cool style, and the feeling of being at home in Rome! We loved Laura’s place and appreciated how kind and communicative she was. Little art and design details—from contemporary paintings/prints on every wall, to the China cabinet full of cool tableware, and even a turntable with classic Italian records—reminded us of a midcentury design-space you’d see in Dwell or Wescover. It’s not a new place (could use fresh paint and carpets) but that vintage feeling is what we also liked about Monti.
The master bedroom overlooks staggered patios, little balconies, and the neighbors spiral staircase covered in booming vines. From the living room windows you can see ancient columns on the left and down the cobbled streets towards the square on the right. Even with the grandeur of the ancient forums a block away, one of the most memorable nights of the trip was walking to the market, cooking amatriciana, and spending the night in!
