I am fortunate to have stayed in many apartments and homes in different locations. This is one of my favorites! First, there is your host, Valentino. He is the ideal host, providing excellent information and communication. He answers all questions very quickly and is very accommodating. He provides excellent and essential information about Rome and the apt upon your arrival. I felt if we had any problems, Valentino would be of help which made my family and me feel we were not alone in Rome. Next, there is the Monti area where the apt is located. Now that I have visited Rome, there is no better place to stay in my opinion. It is very close to many key sites, has a number of 4 and 5 star hotels, has a metro stop (about a 7 min walk from the apt), and has many excellent eateries and bars. Finally, there is the apartment which is truly a jewel. The location is beyond amazing. It is located right behind the beautiful Trajen’s Market/Forum and is a 5 to 25 minute walk to almost all the major sites in Rome. Vatican City is of course further, but even that is walkable should you desire. If not, it is an easy metro ride. The apt is immaculately clean, well-maintained and very well-designed. It has every amenity you need and several very nice touches such as a computer, washer, guide books, dvd’s, and a rainhead style shower. The beds are comfortable and the bathroom is very large. One of my favorite things is that there is ample storage to store all of your items in a very organized fashion. The building as you may know from the listing has an elevator. The apt is only on the second floor, but the elevator is still very nice for luggage and perhaps just after a long day of site-seeing. Another important thing is that the apt is very quiet, one of the quietest I have ever stayed in for being in the heart of a large city. It is located on a lovely inner courtyard, and we sat outside one evening in the light rain looking down at the courtyard which was very pleasant. I will say that I cannot comment on the heating or cooling. Although the temperature did vary some during our stay, the apt always stayed pleasant without using either heating or cooling. You will not regret renting this lovely apt, but I will ask one thing. Please treat this apt very well because I hope to return one day. Thank you, Valentino, for making our Rome visit a wonderful dream come true!
