Cristina's place was perfect for our family of 4. The apartment is a lovely blend of the old and the new. There is a beautiful outdoor porch that faces the courtyard and is a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the ambient sounds of the city and truly feel like a local. The beds are comfortable, the place is clean, the kitchen is very nice, the air conditioning works well (we never thought we'd have to use it in October but it was unseasonably warm!), and communication with the host was excellent. And the location! You are steps away from the Colosseum in the vibrant Monti area, surrounded by excellent restaurants. The 24 hour store across the street is so convenient as well. There is some street noise because of the lively location, but it wasn't an issue for us. We stayed in 4 rentals across Italy during our holiday and this was our favorite.
