A great base from which to explore Rome in the vibrant and youth-oriented Monti area, away from the tourist crowds but close enough to walk to the Colosseum and the Forum if you want to take a stroll on a whim. Supermarkets, cafes and everything one might need for a comfortable stay and experience a stay like a local. Amenities were excellent - liquid soap, shampoo & other assorted personal care items. The air-conditioning worked perfectly and is essential to a summer stay in the city. It had everything we needed to prepare decent meals (including condiments). Communicating with Monica was easy and fast. Very comfortable for two friends who at times need their own personal space. Highly recommended.
