This apartment was perfect for my week in Rome last week! The check-in process was very smooth, with Laura accommodating my travel plans. She was also very flexible about my check-out and offered to look after my luggage if I needed it.

The best thing was the fact that Cavour Metro stop is a short and level walk from the front door of the apartment block so I could roll my suitcase straight to the train and onward to Termini station to catch the plane... brilliant!

The room itself was perfect for me as a solo traveller. A good size, with a gorgeous bathroom and delightful balcony.I also felt very safe in the apartment, as it is in a security building. And there is a lift right up to the third floor! And when you close the balcony doors, all the street noise disappears.

Finally, the location couldn't be better for my needs. The Metro down the road, the Colosseum around the corner and all the major sights within walking distance. Monti is a gorgeous area in Rome; very busy and colourful with some of the best restaurants nearby. It has a lovely non-tourist feel about it and the coffee shop under the apartment block has the best coffee (and service) in Rome.

I actually can't fault the apartment and Laura as a hostess was brilliant, I'll definitely keep it as my base in Rome in the future.
