The host speaks English and was waiting for us to arrive. Communication via text or email and some quick tips on the apartment made the check in painless. The apartment is in the heart of Monti very close to the bulk of non-touristy artisan shops and apartments and centrally located to many attractions. Many Romans seem to reside and hang out here which made the stay feel really authentic. The apartment had everything we needed and was quite comfortable. The square it is located on is a nightlife hot spot, fueled until around 3am by bars serving take-away drinks. Not to worry the two large windows sound proof nicely. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for an authentic Roman stay.
