Monica’s place was perfectly located to see all the sights of Rome. We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment is definitely very typical of many of the apartments in Rome. It is located is a large row of apartments in a very old building that you access from a side alley however the apartment itself has recently been renovated and is well appointed. The apartment was a little darker that expected from the photos as it backs onto a courtyard but other than that the photos are quite representative of the interior. We felt like we had a chance to see how many locals lived. It was close to any type of shopping you needed including restaurants and gelato shops.
It was also just a short walk to the colosseum and most major sites of Rome.
We only took a taxi once to get to the Vatican otherwise we walked everywhere.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Monica’s place to my friends. Overall we were very pleased with our choice.
