Monica was a brilliant host, she clearly explained how to get to the apartment and when we arrived she informed us of how best to get around the city.
The apartment was bright, clean and spacious. We didn't use the kitchen, so can't comment. The bedrooms were an excellent size, sometimes the pictures make them look bigger, but this is not the case here.
We used the bus to mainly get to the main sights, but often a taxi back later at night, which cost c. €15-20. One taxi driver did get lost- the street is quite long!
A great base to explore Rome from, i definitely recommend Monica's apartment.
