The apartment is a gem; clean, stylish, comfortable, and in a prime location off of Piazza Barberini. But the best thing about Monica's and Alessandra's apartment is them. Truly, they are lovely people. Their considerations for guests to have a positive experience in Rome are in evidence from the warm welcome to the nice linens to the organized folder of maps and recommendations. It felt as if everything in the apartment had been chosen specially and that they delighted in having guests. They provided personalized directions, tour guide connections, taxi reservations (though if you travel light it's a short walk to the taxi area in Barberini). And, they were patient and helpful with my Italian! This was the second apartment I and/or family members had rented from them. Definitely recommended.
