We had a wonderful time in Rome and at Yolanda's flat in Rione Monti. We were there for 6 weeks so had plenty of time to enjoy discovering the city and taking advantage of the well-catered flat and kitchen.
Rione Monti is a lovely area, with a more local feel than other touristic parts of Rome. It is full of cafés, restaurants, bars and local designer shops. It is also very centrally located. From there, one can walk pretty much anywhere. Its local feel means that it can sometimes be a little bit noisy at night (especially on Fridays and Saturdays) but this is true of most of Rome's centre anyway.
I would also like to stress that if our stay was so pleasant, it was in great part thanks to Yolanda's fantastic sense of hospitality. From start to finish, she was warm, communicative and helpful. As I told her we would be traveling with our one-year old child, she provided us with a cot and a high chair, along with a big bag of stuffed animals which our son loved. When the wifi broke down one day, she did everything in her power to get the problem fixed as soon as possible. Thank you very much Yolanda!
In a nutshell, I would highly recommend this place because the flat is lovely and its owner even lovelier.
