I stayed at Barbara's apartment in Monti for about 3 1/2 weeks & it was amazing. The apartment itself has everything one would need, & is clean & roomy, particularly for central Rome. Barbara herself was kind & highly accessible, & helpful whenever there was a problem. Plus, the neighborhood itself is ideal & really just absolutely beautiful. Basically, the apartment affords the opportunity to be close to so many interesting neighborhood bars & cafes (not to mention within short walking distance of, say, Trajan's column, & the Colosseum, & the Foro Romano), which is all really a great privilege. Highly, highly recommended.
