My daughter and I spent 4 nights at Monica's apartment. It is in a fantastic location for anyone who wants to explore Rome because it is near to both the Metro and many sites in the old city. We took the Metro to the Colosseum and Palatine Hill, the Monti neighborhood, and the Vatican (as well as to the train station when we left) and walked to all the other sites. Be sure to take a passagio (evening stroll) down Via del Corso! The apartment itself is stylishly decorated, very clean and well lit. Monica stocked the kitchen nicely, with a container of milk in the fridge, lots of tea and coffee, bread and jam, and a nice selection of fruit so we were able to have tea, toast and fruit each morning before heading out. She also left us a lovely bottle of red wine and some focaccia, which was nice to have when we arrived. Monica maintains a list of local restaurants that she recommends; we ate at two of her recommendations, and both were excellent. One especially nice touch in the apartment is that there are outlets and small bed tables in the loft on both sides of the bed, so both my daughter and I could plug our phones in at night :)
