We very much enjoyed our stay in Monica's apartment. It is a very pleasant space (better than it looks in the pictures). The area is quite lively but we were not bothered by noise as it seems to quieten down reasonably early, the plus side is that there are plenty of good bars, cafes etc literally on the doorstep (had a good evening in the Vino A Vino wine bar about 3 doors away). Monica provided us with lots of information on the area and her recommendations were excellent. Monti is a great area of Rome to stay in and most the main sights are easily walkable.
