Monica’s place is a good home base for visiting Rome. It’s more spacious than it looks in the photos and has two nice size bedrooms and all the kitchen amenities that you need. The building feels safe and secure. There is a grocery store behind the building that made it very convenient for stocking some essentials upon arrival. As other reviews have mentioned, street noise can be loud (which didn’t seem to bother my kids) but the adults wore ear plugs to bed. It’s an average 10 euro cab ride to most of the main sightseeing areas. We were on a tight schedule and didn’t feel like dealing with the bus or train. We did walk to the Vatican (about 20-25 min walk) and from there walked to campo di Fiori. Monica is a lovely host.
