Monica is a lovely host. She had good communication with us in the run up to our stay, and she met us at the apartment even when we arrived an hour earlier than expected. The flat is lovely and cool, though less spacious that it seems in the pictures, however there is still plenty of comfortable room for two people.
We experienced temperature control problems with the shower- the water was either freezing cold or scaldingly hot- however on our last morning we discovered that this problem is avoided when the air conditioning is switched off (I just wish we’d realised sooner!)
The air conditioning is very good, but not needed during the day, as the flat remains very cool inside.
We were expecting more light in the apartment than we found when we got there, since shades had been put up outside to give some privacy. Whilst this made the flat darker, it also kept the heat out, so all in all it wasn’t a problem.
There is a fair bit of road noise from inside the flat, however it didn’t stop us from getting to sleep.
The bed is large and comfortable, and we were provided with everything we could possibly need- from washing powder, to extra soap and toilet rolls.
The flat is very well connected to the main sites, by bus and metro, especially the Vatican, which is only 2/3 stops away. The metro stop is right outside the apartment, and takes around twenty minutes to reach from Termini station.
Overall we were very pleased with our week spent in Monica’s flat, and would happily stay there again (now we know how to fix the shower!)
