I stayed at Manola's apartment in November and I'm absolutely happy with my choice.
Manola was so responsive and from after booking the place to when I got there she answered my questions really quickly. I didn't meet her but her assistant met me at the front door of the building and let me in, very smooth process. Manola is a very generous and thoughtful host, she left a bottle of wine, bottle of water and a pack of chips for me at my arrival which I really appreciate. She also let me check out late ( in the afternoon) so I didn't have to wonder around the street with my two heavy luggages. I greatly appreciate her kindness.
The house was perfect and had everything you needed for a medium to long stay in Rome with one big bedroom, kitchen and all the facilities available. Building was very secure and had an elevator which is a big plus in Europe.
This place is in walking distance to Trevi fountain and Spanish steps(10 minutes) and if you like walking like I do you can walk 10 more minutes and you reach the vittorio Emmanuel monument which itself is around less than 7 minutes walk to coliseum and other tourist sites. This place is so close to shopping area with all the brands and has lots of restaurants and places to eat.
Considering the affordability of this place compare to hotel rooms I don't understand why anyone wants to go stay in a one bedroom hotel room, don't! Go stay at Manola's apartment you won't regret it , I highly recommend it. This place is amazing and I would love to go back and stay there whenever in Rome.
