We very much enjoyed our stay in Giuliana’s apartment. Right from the start we were able to communicate easily via the Airbnb chat. Even though we had received detailed practical information beforehand, it was nice to be received by Giuliana in person.
The apartment is cosy and charming, full of little details that make it feel like we’re staying with friends. The combined eating/ cooking/ seating area looks out onto the courtyard and doesn’t feel cramped when the sofa-bed is open. The bedroom is bright and spacious, with plenty of storage space. It looks out onto the cobbled street. The street itself doesn’t have any late night bars and very little traffic, but some sound does carry up from the cobbled street and through the double-glazed window.
The Monti neighbourhood is a perfect place to stay, just a short walk from the Colosseum and well-served by public transport. There is no shortage of little bars, restaurants and quirky shops, as well as some old traditional workshops that have managed to survive.
