The apartment was absolutely lovely. Spacious, spotlessly clean, and well supplied with towels, dishes, glasses, dishwasher, high tech shower, washer-dryer, etc. The kitchens and bathroom are recently redone and very nice. The location is central and convenient. Monti is less over run with tourists than many other neighborhoods and this adds to the charm. We walked everywhere in Rome - Spanish Steps, Saint Peters, Piazza Navona, Trastevere, etc. Admittedly we are a walking family - but Rome is a fairly compact and terrific walking city (even in the middle of the winter. Convenience to the train station was helpful for day trips. The two trattorias on the same little street were authentic local cuisine with great pasta dishes and largely for the neighborhood clientelle. Only suggestion is to bring ear plugs for those sleeping in the bedrooms towards the road for evening (e.g. Saturday night) when the Irish pub across the street gets into high gear. Overall, for us it was a 5 star experience.

Gabriella and her sister made us feel very welcome.
