Roberta was a wonderfully warm and responsive host. The Monti neighborhood is a foodie paradise with top-rated pizza and a variety of delicious Roman streetfood and specialty stores like raw chocolate and more within a 5 minute walk of the apartment. Our family enjoyed sightseeing in the morning/early afternoon and then exploring all the great restaurants and treat shops in Monti in the evenings. Monti as a neighborhood felt very safe and welcoming with all shop owners happy to speak English. The building itself is quiet and peaceful. The apartment is a 10 minute walk from the Colosseum and Forum area - excellent location! There is also a well stocked supermarket nearby. As a caution, please be aware the elevator is quite small literally only fitting one adult or two kids. The apartment is a 5th floor walk up. I saw it as welcome exercise and worth it for the wonderful central location in an interesting neighborhood.
