This was our 6th trip to Rome and by far Gildas' place was the nicest accommodations we ever had. The apartment is beautiful . It was spotlessly clean , polished hard wood floors , wooden ceiling beams ,cozy living room , slate bathroom , comfortable bed , amazing kitchen ... artsy yet functional . Every amenity you can imagine was there for us . But the BEST part of the accommodations is the private roof garden. We spent most of our time out there . I was like being on a movie set. Table and lounge chairs surrounded buy beautiful plants and flowers.It was totally private and peaceful . Whether it was morning coffee under the sun or wine and cheese at night under the Roman moon the roof garden MADE the whole trip.With the beautiful dome of Santa Maria dei Monti i in the background the roof garden is the spot to relax . The apartment faces the inside of a courtyard so there is zero street noise , it's quiet and serene. Once outside the building you are in the heart of the hippest arts neighborhood in Rome, the Monti district. There are cool shops and great restaurants in every direction down the beautiful cobblestone streets . Right outside the building is the Fountain of the Madonna dei Monti ,a great place where locals hang out , chat have a beer or gelato .A great place to hang an live like the local Romans do . This is THE neighborhood to experience the real Roma .You are also literally minutes walk to the Colosseum , Roman Forum and all the major historic sights . ( You can see the Colosseum from one corner and the Forum of Augustus from the other ) Although we never met Gildas in person her communication with us was friendly and accommodating, she always got back to me almost immediately . The check in , check out process was as easy as it can get . Gildas made things as simple and easy as possible. We are already planning to go there again in 2020..This is THE place to stay in Rome Thank You Gildas.
