Thoughtful and with all details considered, describe both the apartment and the ideal hosts Gianluca and Laura. A warm welcome and reception to the recently renovated apartment, begins with a tour to show us how all the appliances, fixtures and amenities work, followed by welcomed local knowledge of their favorites restaurants and sites. My wife by profession is an interior designer, and she absolutely marveled at the incredible eye for detail and quality of furnishings, finishes, decor, modern appliances, and my favorite, the chef's caliber kitchen that the hosts so graciously provide to the fortunate guests who get to stay here. This being our 3rd trip to Rome, we have checked off most of the "must do's" in previous trips, and were excited to get the authentic personal lifestyle experiences that Gianluca and Laura offer. One of our favorite experiences mentioned in their guide, was a convenient trip by Metro to "Eataly", (think Disney World for foodies). With 28 unique and very affordable, high quality regional eateries, and fresh market of any every ingredient imaginable, we spent over 4 hours eating and shopping for our bounty,in order to return to the apartment to utilize the previously mentioned gourmet kitchen for a memorable feast. The experience was of course inspired by the gracious hospitality of our hosts, who provided a truly thoughtful welcome gift basket, and a delicious homemade cake from Laura, to make the most of the generously appointed suite. Whether it be a short or long-term stay in Roma, you will be hard pressed to find a place any better than the One & Only Monti Suite.
Grazie Mille!
