The apartment was clean and well presented. Everything we could have possibly needed was provided for us, including the little things like shampoo and soap. Monica was a wonderful host who even pointed us in the direction of good day trips outside of Rome. Having a locals input was invaluable and we enjoyed a wonderful day trip during our stay. The apartment was perfectly located giving us both easy access to the sights and to hangout locations of the locals. With the windows closed the apartment was reasonably quiet which was perfect for my wife who is a light sleeper. The fans in the unit were also perfect for summer and we were very comfortable. The loft design was perfect and quite fun :).
