My daughter and I enjoyed our stay at Elena's place. I have been to Rome a few times but never stayed in the Monti neighborhood. It's very lively, even on a weeknight. But once you are in the apartment, which looks over a courtyard, you never hear noise from the street. The apartment was very clean. It's smaller than what it looks like in the pictures but it worked out fine. Check-in was easy and Elena was very responsive. Great restaurant choices nearby. We walked to most of the major sites without a problem. Most are about a 30-minute walk or less but if walking isn't your thing there is a subway station nearby and plenty of buses on Via Cavour. It was a great value for the money.
