We loved staying at Marida's Airbnb in Monti! The place had everything we needed for our stay: toiletries, a map of Rome, a binder full of useful information, perfect heating and cooling temperatures, and a lot of space. The apartment is definitely bigger than it looks in pictures. The bed was extremely comfortable for both of us, and the whole apartment was modern and clean. We were very impressed with Emiliano, Marida's assistant. He was available to us at all times in case we had questions, and when we asked him for a different comforter, he was immediately responsive and arranged that right away. He gave us great suggestions for local restaurants, and helped us book a private car service on our way to and from FCO airport (which was totally worth it, and we would highly recommend this service). He also treated us like friends, and made the check-in and check-out process a breeze.
From the minute we stepped in the apartment, we felt comfortable. The area we were in is part of a lively, beautiful and safe neighborhood. The vibrant energy of Rome was all around us, and we took many walks through the beautiful street we were on. Another highlight was the private rooftop, and even though it was a little chilly at night and early morning, we made it a point to go up there every day and admire the views of the Eternal City. We cannot wait to be back in Rome, and will definitely choose Marida's place if it is available.
I cannot stress this enough: the location of this apartment is amazing. We were walking distance to the Colosseum and other popular spots, and also only 6-7 minutes from the Metro and bus stops we needed. Right around the corner from us were mini markets and supermarkets at a 3-5 minute walking distance. We easily took public transportation and walked everywhere, and felt very much at home in Monti. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your beautiful place. Grazie mille!
For anyone looking to book this place, please don't hesitate, and if you end up staying here, be sure to reserve a table at Blackmarket Hall right down the street!
