Loved Alice's place, all the touches were great, such as toliteries and a really handy first aid kit with plasters, very handy for when my uncomfortable birkenstocks badly hurt my feet! I was looking to stay in either Trastevere or Monti as I had heard those were good areas for bars and restaurants, now I've been I'm really glad Alice's place was available in Monti, it was ideal, it's only a 10-15 minute walk from Rome Termini so really easy for getting the train to the airport. it's in historic Rome and really good for all sights, Colloseum only 15 mins away, I like walking and we walked everywhere, St Peters was 45 mins walk and the Pantheon about 15 mins, so really ideal. There is a great jazz bar a few doors down, as Monti is a good neighbourhood for bars I would recommend earplugs for very light sleepers, it's more just people coming home at the end of an evening though.
