Just for some context, this was my 6th visit to Italy and 4th visit to Rome. This property is in an outstanding location. I think Monti is pretty hard to beat - Striking distance to the main attractions but still has some restaurants and bars that provide an authentic experience (including Esquilino). There are excellent bars and restaurants literally at the doorstep. Short walk to the Colosseum, in fact you can see the Colosseum from the main bedroom if you stick your head out of the window and look down the street (via Dei Serpenti). Most other things are pretty easy to reach on foot, i.e. Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Pantheon, etc. Trastevere and the Vatican are a bit of a hike away but we found it to be an enjoyable walk. If you're coming by train I would suggest catching a taxi to and from the apartment - It's a bit too far to do on foot with heavy luggage in my experience! The apartment itself is spacious - We had 4 adults during our stay and there was more than enough room. One bedroom is slightly superior to the other in terms of size and amenities (i.e. walk-in robe). That said, both bedrooms have wall mounted aircon units which is undoubtedly more important than pretty much anything else during the summer! The living area, kitchen, and bathroom are all a generous size in Roman terms. The apartment in on the first floor, so there's plenty of traffic and party noise from the street (as mentioned there are several bars out front of the building). That said, the windows and shutters block out a lot of this noise and in fairness it didn't bother us at all. My only gripe was that the shower seemed to have a mind of its own and seemed to be either scolding hot or ice cold. Maybe we didn't have the knack to make it work properly, or more likely it's just one of the idiosyncratic charms of an old building. Shower aside, we would stay here again!
