Amazing stay! We stayed in this perfect apartment for four wonderful nights when Italy was just re-opening after the Coronavirus and Rome was absolutely empty. The apartment had been empty for some time due to the lockdown but you sure couldn't tell. The apartment is also used as a long-term rental and you can definitely tell because it has all the personal touches of a home that is actually lived in (plenty of dish towels, cooking oils, seasonings, plenty of dishes, nice knives, etc.) without feeling like you are actually in someone else's space which can be awkward. The location in Monti can not be beat. The neighborhood was perfect, just up the road from the Colosseum and Roman Forum, with tons of authentic shops, bars, and restaurants. We spent our days out exploring Rome and spent our evenings trying all the adorable neighborhood restaurants. We traveled with our three kids (ages 3, 4, and 6) and had plenty of room to spread out and get comfortable. There is a Metro station at the end of the street and bus stops nearby. The main train station is just one stop away by metro. Do yourself a favor and familiarize yourself with the bus routes. Numbers 85 and 117 stop just near the house. We ended up using Uber Vans quite a bit (we never paid more than 20 euros or waited more than 5 mins) to keep our littles from having to do too much walking to and from the sights since we did so much walking around and between them. With older kids or more stroller capacity you could just walk everywhere. The American Bar at the Forum Hotel just a few blocks away was a highlight, having our aperitivi overlooking the Roman Forum at sunset. It was unreal! The air conditioners appeared to be new and each bedroom has its own unit which is key. The adorable bar just downstairs can get a little loud late at night, but we always travel with white noise machines as we prefer to stay where all the action is so we are used to having the noise that comes along with prime location. The guys that worked at the bar were always happy to set up a table for us to have a drink before dinner, even with the kids. Costanza was a dream hostess and stocked us up on groceries and even gave us a lovely bottle of red wine. In addition she gave us a map and talked us through tons of restaurants, sights, and local tips that totally made our trip! Her tips plus the Eat Italy app became our "personal tour guides" and we felt like we basically had a local showing us around Rome. Bottom line, this apartment is fantastic and we wouldn't consider staying anywhere else in Rome. We will definitely be recommending it and Constanza's other properties to our friends!
