The apartment was great. Beautiful courtyard, clean apartment, decor felt very traditional Italian. The neighborhood is awesome. Monte doesn't feel touristy. It's full of life. Cool new coffee shops, wine bars, vintage stores. Has a "hipster" vibe. Barbara was a great host--very responsive via text. She was happy to suggest some great local restaurants and to answer all of our questions. We had total privacy throughout our stay. Our only complaint would be that the bed in the master bedroom could use a new mattress. All in all, a great Airbnb...we highly recommend and would definitely rebook!
