You see that balcony in the photos? Step out and to the hill on the left. In top of it you’ll see tourists taking photos of the old Roman forum and into the city. Almost three years ago I got engaged up there and in the background of those photos, in the near distance, was a balcony of a penthouse attached to a sweet little flat. This is what Rome is supposed to be all about, kismet and happenstance. Rent it, then wander and get lost in the Monti neighbourhood... you won’t be disappointed. As a bonus, get the great host Mirka to pick you up at the airport. You’re on holiday and it’s the little things that make it great.
