Summary of the review - Monica is fantastic, the place was wonderful and clean, and we would stay there again in a heartbeat!

Monica was there waiting for us even though we arrived later than planned. She was very warm and welcoming, taking the time to show us all the details of the apartment, explain how to get around the city and which bus to take, locating the closest grocery store, etc. She was always very responsive before we arrived and during our stay and provided a baby travel bed for our son to sleep in while we were there.

The home is equipped with the guests in mind, including thoughtful details like EU plug adapters (the first time we have seen them provided), shampoos and soaps. The kitchen was also equipped with everything we needed for cooking such as oils, basic spices, etc. The home was also exceptionally clean, I would say the cleanest of any Airbnb home that we've stayed in. Monica even brought some toys over for our son to play with, which he loved and played with whenever we were home.

The apartment was simply but tastefully furnished. It was comfortably warm and cozy, and had lots of light during the day time since it has balconies and windows on both the living room/kitchen and bedroom ends of the apartment. It is on the top floor which offers a decent view in the day time. There is a typical European (i.e. small) elevator that is clean and works very well. If you have a baby trolley/stroller, you will likely have to bring it down folded until you get to the lobby.

The apartment is between two major roads of northeastern Rome within walking distance to the Vatican museum (albeit a bit of a long walk). The upside is that it's convenient to get to public transport and grocery shopping; a bus stop is behind the building and the metro is about a 10 min walk, a large grocery store is less than 5 min walk. However, it is a bit noisy, so if you are looking for somewhere that is in a more tranquil setting you should probably look a bit further out of the city. That said, it didn't impact our stay. Our 16 month old was able to sleep just fine, and my wife used earplugs when it was loud (it didn't bother me in the least).

Beware that, for some reason, Google maps doesn't seem to be able to find this place accurately, taking us to a different location on the street and adding a little bit of extra time when we were arriving.
