Monica is the ultimate host. From the time you book her apartment until you arrive, she is very communicative and thoughtful, offering suggestions and letting you know that she will help in whatever way she can with your travels. She was outside waiting for us as our taxi arrived. She then spent time with us, showing us the beautiful apartment, letting us know how everything worked, providing us with a map of local landmarks and eateries, and even giving us a quick lesson on the Metro. She gave us tips regarding taxis to ensure that we did not pay too much and offered suggestions on her favorite restaurants. On the last day, she inquired whether we would like to hire a private limo service to the airport, which was only 2 euro more than a taxi would have been. She made the phone call, and the car was waiting promptly at the appointed time. She is the best, and I would highly recommend staying at her apartment!
