The apartment was exactly as described in a fantastic location. The historic district is about a 30 minute walk, but there are endless things to do around Monti. The Colosseum is a short 15 minute walk, so it’s close enough to the attraction without being right in the middle of the hustle and bustle.
The apartment had everything we needed during our stay. There are plenty of hangers and a really neat closet area to hang your clothes. The terrace was a fantastic addition and we used it every night. There is not an elevator and the apartment is on the top floor, so you have to climb 4-5 flights of stairs. We didn’t mind this, but others may not feel that way, especially if there are mobility issues.
Luca has great communication and even let us know when there was a celebration event occurring during our stay, when Rome won the Europa conference league. Be sure to try out some of the restaurant recommendations Luca is willing to provide! There’s very good gelato (Gelateria S.M.Maggiore) just up the street from the apartment. Also check out Er Barreto for some of the best espresso you’ll ever taste. We went every day we were in Rome.
