Ari's place is a dream! It's centrally located and the balcony views are gorgeous. The kitchen was stocked with some thoughtful cookies, coffee and water as well as all the kitchen amenities if you want to cook in. Spacious living space and I liked the many mirrors. Bed was super comfortable and since we went to Rome when it was chilly, the two heaters worked really efficiently to cozy up the rooms. Monti is a beautiful, historical, vibrant place filled with restaurants. Make sure to try Ai Tres Scalini and La Vacca M'briaca. Walkable to most parts of Rome. We will definitely be coming back to stay with Ari--even the flights of stairs are worth it!
