Monica’s basement studio was perfect for my girlfriend and I for our one week stay in Rome. It has a great value for what it offers. The bed and pillows are memory foam and incredibly comfortable. The air conditioning was essential for us to stay cool at night. And the little kitchen area is a brilliant usage of space which allowed us to prepare some cheap food in the mornings before going out for the day. The Bialetti espresso machine is delightful for a quick shot before heading out. The apartment is in the perfect location for exploring Southern Rome! There are some incredible restaurants just across the street (La Tavernaccia da Bruno, C’è Pasta…..e pasta!) and Cafe Maritozzo on the corner is phenomenal and not to be missed. We prefer to avoid the tourist crowds and this was the ideal location for us as it was close to Testaccio and away from the hoards of tourists in Trastevere further north. Sunday morning on the street there is a fantastic flea market just outside the apartment which should not be missed.
We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in town!
