Location, location, location! The home was centrally located near the metro, with a major piazza and distinct landmarks with plenty of taxis and we were easily able to walk everywhere we wanted to go within 20-30 minutes.

The location, cleanliness and charm of the home would have been enough to make it a perfect stay in Rome, however, Monica had my husband and I excited well before our arrival. As it was our first trip to Italy, she arranged a driver to get us to her home, made recommendations for her favorite restaurants (including making us a reservation for us for one evening) and suggested we introduce ourselves to Italy with a Vespa tour with local guides. It was truly was a wonderful introduction.

Monica was warm and gracious upon our arrival. She was excited to introduce us to her city, drew a hand drawn map of a local market, nearby sight seeing and major landmarks, leaving us well-prepared to explore this wonderful city immediately upon arrival. It was also the perfect place to return to after a long day of sightseeing. The bed and pillows were comfortable, with plenty of space for storage and we were able to have dinner and breakfast at home instead of eating out all the time.

The home had many nice touches of design and function. The towels were soft and there were plenty of them. There was a hair dryer, iron, and all the kitchen items we would need.

I highly recommend Monica and her home and will definitely stay there again upon our return.
