If going to Rome, stay with Aldo in his "a stones throw..." apartment.
We love the Monti area for its location, restaurants and the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore cathedral. The Cavour Metro station is only a 5 minute easy walk away, and it is one stop to the central Termini train station with access to the Fiumicino airport.
Best of all, though, was Aldo, for his help and support. The apartment is provided with every amenity, he recommended and arranged transport from the airport to the door of 1 via del Boschetto 101, which we needed after a 30 hour trip from Australia.
The apartment was very comfortable, and the bed was great for a sound night's sleep.
Plenty of hot water and a washing machine which for us was needed.
I could go on, but enough is enough. Going to Rome solo or as a couple, stay with Aldo!
