My husband and I stayed at Monica’s for three nights while visiting Rome for the first time. The apartment is located very near the doors to the city, so we found the location to be fantastic. All the major monuments were within walking distance which was a huge benefit. The apartment is located in the basement of an older apartment building so it had a bit of a musty smell to it - though it wasn’t terribly bothersome. We had some plumbing issues while there (that were out of our or Monica’s control) and while we weren’t able to use the toilet for about half the time we were there and had to accommodate plumbers being in and out of the apartment, Monica and her father both were very gracious and flexible when it came to troubleshooting solutions. They also provided great recommendations for restaurants in the area.
