Illaria's apartment is a lovely place to stay and discover Rome. Bright, spacious, with two tastefully decorated bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and a kitchen where you can even prepare your own meals if you are inclined to do so. If not, you'll find everything you need in the busy neighbourhood: Bars, restaurants, ice cream parlours and lots of beautiful little shops. The Monti district is very fashionable right now and you can definitely see why when staying at Illiaria's.

You'll find a couple of the city's main attractions like the Collosseo, the Foro Romano, Santa Maria Maggiore and two outposts of the Museo Nazionale Romano within walking distance. The metro station Cavour is just a few steps away – something definitely worth mentioning since Rome doesn't have a metro station at every corner.

If you want to stay in a quiet and calm residential area, this may not be the place for you since there is a lot going on in the street under your windows, even rather late at night, particularly on the weekend. But if you want to be in the heart of the city, experience a bit of Roman nightlife and see what everyday life in Rome looks like, this is the place for you. I can absolutely recommend it and hope I'll return soon!
