Giovanni was an excellent host who took the time to familiarize us with the apartment, the Monti neighborhood, and both the major sites and local hangouts of Rome. He was always reachable and was kind enough to check in via text to make sure we enjoying our stay and the city.

The apartment is spacious, clean, and has everything you need to feel at home. Though just steps away from major attractions like the Colosseum, the Ruins, and Palatine Hill, the Monti area is made up of locals and offers a respite from the crowds and tourist-oriented shops and restaurants of its periphery. I couldn't imagine a better place or a better host for our first visit to Rome. Thank you, Giovanni!
