5/5 on location! Monte Verde (while quite) is full of life and a gorgeous part of Rome. There plenty of restaurants and probably 7 grocery stores just within a 10 minute walking distance. As for the apartment, we stayed for a month so got to know the place pretty well. A few things I will say that were not a deal breaker but a bit of an annoyance: the air conditioner in the kitchen is terrible. It’s basically just a fan and because the apartment is located on the basement level surrounded by high walls, there is no wind, so no help opening windows either. The washer was also not great, was a bit confusing to operate and didn’t dry clothes very well. Because there is no optimal place (with heavy sunlight) to hang clothes to dry, we ended up using this massive clothes drying rack that took up the entire second bedroom/office and clothes would take a day+ to dry fully. Again, not the end of the world, but was a little annoying. The AC in the bedroom was amazing for the most part. If you are like me, you like the bedroom to be icy cold, especially coming back from a 37°C(100°F) June night out in Trastevere, so no issues there. Lastly the toilet sucked, not much to say there just would never flush ANYTHING and needs updating. Besides that, Massimo was an amazing host. When we did have issues with anything he was able to get it fixed fairly quickly, and was very accommodating with check in and check out. Would stay again for sure!
