Elena & Tommaso were fantastic hosts! Communication was easy & timely. Check in was smooth and they kindly left a lovely bottle of wine for our enjoyment upon arrival. The place is everything and more of what you see in the photos. It is cozy & spacious, beautifully decorated and it had everything we needed for an incredibly enjoyable stay. The private rooftop patio is a really lovely spot especially on warm summer evenings. There are beautiful plants all around, a small WC and a kitchen area, should you want to prepare snacks or an Aperol Spritz while you're up there! The apartment was impeccably clean. The bed was very comfortable, though the bar down on the street level was a bit noisy most nights, earplugs solved that problem. I brought my own, but did notice that our hosts had some available in the bathroom, along with a variety of other products, which I appreciated. Elena was also very generous and helpful in answering my questions about a very specific gift I needed to shop for. She recommended the perfect shop for the perfect gift and I am so grateful! The Monti neighborhood is wonderful! It is full of sweet shops run by a variety of creatives and entrepreneurs as well as top notch restaurants. The list of recommendations they provide for their guests is very thoughtful and thorough. Not to mention, it's only a few blocks from the Colosseum and other epic antiquities that Rome is famous for. Monti is just out of the hustle & bustle of the tourist crowds, but so close to it. Spectacular location and neighborhood. Put simply, we didn't want to leave. We would go back in a heartbeat!
