This is my second time staying at Monica’s apartment and I am happy to report that I have had an excellent stay both times. I would definitely highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Rome.
We took a shuttle into Rome and the driver had no problem finding the address. However, he didn’t drop us off at the exact address, but he did point us in the right direction. I would suggest that you have google maps up if you decide to take a shared shuttle from the airport. We also took taxis multiple times back to the apartment during our stay and they dropped us off right in front.
The check in process was so easy. All I did was let Monica know when our plane landed, and when we reached the apartment she gave us instructions on how to contact her; she opened the door for us and led us to the apartment we would be staying at. She also gave a mini tour of the apartment, which is fully stocked with modern kitchen appliances and a washing machine. Before she left she gave us a map of some places to eat, grocery stores, bakeries, and bars. My husband and I went to the supermarket she suggested and bought items for breakfast to cook back at the apartment.
Everything about the stay was fantastic. The view of the Colosseo is breathtaking and it only takes about a 10 minute walk to get to it. I also loved that there was also a Gelateria and a pizzeria right next door, and that there are a lot of restaurant options that were close by. The neighborhood of Monti is pretty active at night, at least when we went because of a festival Monica had warned us about, so there may be some noise outside. However, the noise didn’t really bother us, as we were both exhausted from site seeing.
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with our stay. Thanks Monica!
