Monica's apartment was just a dream! She took us in earlier than she anticipated. It's a great location in the district of Monti. This where the locals live and play and yet it's only a six minute walk to the Colosseum. Her apartment was clean, had fast internet, the fan was a plus, and the AC was a God-send (summer visits). There's a gelato shop two doors down and our favorite; a cup of cappuccino and a cornetto for two for €3,40 at La Licata (Piazza de Madonna). Drink a cup in the "banco" (bar). Über is great and it works in Rome. Cheaper than a cab!
