What a gem in the great little neighborhood of Monti! We were met by our pre-arranged driver at FCO airport and brought directly to the apartment. Fabio allowed us early check-in due to our flight arrival time, which was very much appreciated. The transport could not have been easier.
Friendly and helpful Giulia met us at the door right on time and showed us around the apartment. We were traveling with our 14-year old daughter, so the 2-bedrooms and 2-bathrooms were terrific! A living room and small, but workable, kitchen completed the apartment. There was a washing machine, but this was our first stop on our Italy trip, so we did not need it. We did not cook at all, but did make good use of the coffee/tea pots, the refrigerator, and were very grateful for the small food items left for us, including a liter of milk, sparkling water, and a bottle of wine. The apartment was clean and just as shown in the photos. There were even several umbrellas, which we ended up having to put to good use.
The Monti area has lots of charm, yet is walkable
to all the attractions we wanted to see (with the exception of the Vatican, to which we took a taxi), and there are several good restaurants and stores in the area. It is in a vibrant and safe neighborhood, but mostly quiet at night. The apartment had all the amenities we needed for our 3-day stay. Giulia gave us her cell number in case we needed anything. She also gave us some very useful tips and advised us to use the ‘My Taxi’ app to call a driver when needed. It worked perfectly!
This really was the perfect spot to stay at and we highly recommend this apartment. Well done, Fabio! We appreciate your kind hospitality and thank you for making our stay in Rome so welcoming! Grazie
