We were fortunate enough to stay in this wonderful apartment for an entire month. That said, when we look back on our time in Rome it will be this apartment and it's gorgeous terrace that we think of before any of the timeless sights. The Monti neighborhood is a surprisingly authentic area in a city where it hard to find a true taste of Italian life. Check-in was simple, and Michele is an awesome host with lots of insight. Transportation is a breeze with Metro stop Cavour right outside the front door and the nearby 117 bus to get you to the historic center. The apartment itself has everything needed to prepare meals to be eaten at the best table in town. The soundtrack is also provided by the rising sound of accordion coming from the street. For nightlife in the area and also right outside the door, the fountain across from Santa Maria ai Monti is always packed with locals and is served by a handful of places with excellent wine beer and food choices. All said, a remarkable place to spend some time in the Eternal City.
