Albertos and Marialetizia's place is a gem. I was initially worried that being this close to the Colosseum would imply living in a very touristy area -- but I need not have worried: the Monti area just to the North of the apartment is a genuine urban neighbourhood, filled with indigenous activities, from garages to start-ups. And restaurants which Alberto directed us towards (thanks!). The apartment itself affords wonderful views in two directions, has air conditioning in most rooms and is extremely spacious. Also, for anyone not overtly familiar with Rome -- living here means living in the centre of things: you never have to walk far in what is a thoroughly walkable city. Highly recommended -- not the least for the ease of communication and the friendliness afforded to us, a family of four.
