It looks amazing in the photos, but being able to see the Coliseum from your window is even more striking when you're there. Staying in this flat is simply magical. The location is unbeatable, and it's so well connected (not just because the Metro and buses are right outside but because the trendy Monti neighbourhood is within walking distance and great for going out and for food). There's also a 24/7 supermarket right on the block, and a couple restaurants and cafes right outside, too. Federico's friend greeted us upon our arrival and gave us a very warm welcome and introduction to the city (complete with a bottle of red wine, such a lovely touch!) The place itself is very comfortable and spacious, with high ceilings and lots of light, although the flat is in an old building and could use a bit of updating. The only things to consider are the shower, which is a little bit rickety and the water goes everywhere as there is no shower curtain, and the lack of toiletries (very basic and scarce shower gel is provided, no shampoo, and the hair dryer is tiny and not very useful as it would've taken two hours to dry my hair with it!) However everything else is there (condiments, tea and coffee in the kitchen, nice towels and throws, etc.) and we had an absolutely wonderful, very romantic stay in this stunning apartment. Highly recommend it and would definitely consider staying here again! Thanks Federico & team.
