We initially planned to move to another part of Rome for the second week of our trip, but this place was so wonderful we decided to stay another week! The location is perfect, just blocks from the Colosseum (and blocks from the Colosseum subway stop). The apartment is also next to a large park that is perfect for morning exercise or afternoon strolls. We only had to use the subway one time (to get to St. Paul Outside the Walls in the south part of the city), otherwise we walked everywhere from this apartment - Termini station, the Vatican, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, the Forum, Piazza Barberini, etc. The neighborhood (Monti) is less touristy and more residential than other places you might look to stay, and it feels safer and calmer. But there are still bars and restaurants (and a grocery store!) within blocks. We opened the windows and night and closed them during the day, and the apartment stayed nice and cool. Andrea our host was very accommodating and flexible. If we come back to Rome we will definitely stay here.
