The apartment was spacious and clean. Leila and Raymond met us to give instructions and helpful information. On a living room table, they provided many maps of Rome and even left a cell phone with an Italian SIM card in case of emergencies. We had access to the Internet via their in-house router. They also stocked their kitchen and fridge for us with coffee, bread, jam, butter, and cornettos.

The apartment is located in the Monti district (rione) of Rome, just a few steps from the Roman Forum and, a short walk to the Coliseum. The district features several bars, cafes, and restaurants that make for a welcoming vibe of locals and regulars.

To catch a taxi, it’s best to walk to Piazza Venezia’s taxi stand or, even closer, to the Hotel Forum’s lobby where one of the desk clerks will hail one for you. This only takes a few minutes. Municipal transit is close by.

We wouldn't hesitate to stay again if the apartment were available!
