I had the best experience staying at Marco's place. I only wish it was available for longer. Monti is my favorite neighborhood (I have been several times) and everything about the place is charming and authentic. Paula, who greeted me went beyond out of her way to ensure I found the apartment as there was a marathon happening in the city. She came to meet me where I was by the Spanish steps and helped me with my bags to the apartment. I appreciated it so much and we are going to remain friends! Being a solo traveler, everything made me feel extremely safe, welcome, and comfortable. Highly recommend this apartment if you want to feel like a real Italian in a local neighborhood with great hospitality.
