Monica was an amazing host! She was waiting for us outside of the apartment when we arrived and gave us such a warm welcome! She seemed genuinely excited and happy that we were there. She showed us around the apartment and then took the time to go over a map of Rome showing us where the where the apartment is located and where all the main attractions are and how to get to each one. She also had business cards for a bunch of restaurants and picked out a few that are her favorites. The apartment is very secure (3 doors with locks to get in), and it’s in a trendy area. It’s not extremely close to all the main tourist attractions, but there’s public transportation very close by. Overall, we would highly recommend staying with Monica!
