We were met at the scheduled time by Ursula who works for Laura. Laura was traveling outside Italy. Ursula was very helpful and explained the apartment to us. The apartment is exactly as described and the neighborhood is fantastic. The location allows you to see all of Rome using public transportation both bus and underground very close. The Coloseum is a 8 minute walk. Great restaurants all around the area. Laura has a list of recommended places to eat and they are all great. Downstairs from the apartment is a pizzeria and much more where you can get a great lunch or dinner. Nice people and great food. The bed is very comfortable the TV has english language stations the shower is small but I had no problem using it and I am 6'1" and 220 lbs. They only complaint I have and Laura has no control over this is that the upper floors are used by a B&B short term rentals and they are in and out at all hours of the night slaming the outside door which echos right into Laura's place. I highly recommend this apartment we stayed for a month and had wonderful time. Laura stayed in touch by email and if I had any problems or needed anything she was always available. I hope to return to this apartment in the near future. Thank You Laura and Ursula for allowing us to stay in your gorgeous studio in Monti. Bill & Donna
