I am a little sad to write this review, because by now I have already left the cool apartment in Monti, the nice neighborhood in the heart of Rome. The place is way more spacious than I thought, and I was able to practice some dance in the living room. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Funny that I actually never Barbara in person, but we communicated several times and she always found a solution for all my problems by asking her sister or inlaws to help. I just had such a fabulous time in Rome. The only thing I would caution is somehow people are doing construction across the street so there is some noise--not continuously or at crazy hours but if you sleep light, you might need to know. The AC somehow is all the way on the other end and comes with a bucket that needs to be emptied of water after some time. I would just say maybe try not to come to Rome in the hottest months. But these are minor issues. Overall, I really loved staying there and am sad when I had to leave.
