We wife and I stayed for a week (Aug 4- 11). This was our last week of 11 weeks in Italy and our second week in the Monti district. We like the area so much we came back for a second week. Barbara’s place is a perfect location to Monti and the Rome tourist attractions. Easy walk to all areas except for the Vatican area (easy bus ride). The apartment is on a quiet street and faces an internal courtyard which keeps it very quiet and yet is in the middle of the action. The place is clean, but does show more age/wear than what the bright white images show online (could use new paint throughout) especially bedroom ceiling. The dishwasher broke on our first use and we never did get it repaired and I think they are going to replace it – they should its old. We were never offered any discount for the inconvenience. The kitchen and cookware is just OK for a weeks stay – nothing great – but fine for shorter stays when you are going to be going out to the awesome restaurants all within 2 blocks. Wi-Fi worked great and no issues w/ Netflix. Both air conditioners worked fine. Nice and bright in bedroom and living area. Very comfortable bed and couch. Excellent communication w host and the host was gracious to allow us a late check out. Great location, quiet and clean but just needs some paint and working dishwasher.
