This apartment looked good in the pictures, but it was even better in person. Pictures really don't do it justice. Stylish, modern, well-equipped, and spotlessly clean, it was perfect for our family of four adults and four children. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable and three bathrooms made it easy for everyone to get ready without getting in each other's way. And thoughtful touches like the art pieces on the wall and the stylish wallpapers in the bedroom give it just the right amount of character.
The elevator made it easy to get home at the end of a day of walking, but for young legs more energetic than my own the walk up or down the steps was totally managable.
From its central location we were able to walk to everything and never needed to take a bus or train -- the host helpfully provided a map and even marked which Metro stations were closed. It's just a few short blocks from the most interesting parts of the Monti neighborhood, a quick walk to the Colosseum and Palatine Hill and to Termini Station, and even an easy walk all the way to the Vatican or Villa Borghese. If we had a few more days there, I'm sure we would have found even more interesting things just a few blocks in a different direction.
In short, it was a great place to call home for our few days in Rome. Thank you for everything!
