Condo-quality apartment. The apartment has high ceilings, large windows with plenty of light, has an airy feel, and has thoughtful furnishings. Note that if you have more than 2 people sleeping here, the third+ person will sleep on the couch-turned-mattress. The location is superb. It is within very short walking distance of just about everything you'll want to see in Rome. We never had to take the metro except to get to the airport! The neighborhood, Monti, is also incredibly hip with lots of small restaurants, designer/independent clothing shops, and just a general vibrancy to the area. The area also felt very safe at the same time and like a neighborhood, with a community market at #36 just a few doors down and a grocery store less than 10 minutes walking.
