Monti Flat Rental in Rome

The property is comfortable and in a great central location for walking around the city to everything we wanted to see. (We took a taxi to the Vatican Museums, but everything else was within walking distance.). We enjoyed our stay very much...and found delicious food in the nearby restaurants that are literally right outside the door. The neighborhood is charming. The flat was clean and the beds were comfortable! The Rentals-in-Rome rep kindly arranged for us to have a driver pick us up at the airport and drive us back. The flat is well-placed in what felt like a safe location. The neighborhood is charming, with many delightful restaurants and shops and a bakery right outside the door.

We were very happy there after several problems were ironed out. But we had a very hard time getting into the flat, and had to call for help after hours. The agent tried to be helpful, even video chatting to see what the problem was. The problem was that the door would not unlock despite our having the code. He gave us other codes. He tried to open it remotely. Finally he had to send someone to help us--and two hours later we were finally inside. Clear instructions would have saved everyone the trouble. Or a KEY would have been great! We had to ask our rental company rep for paper towels and trash bags, and we bought more toilet paper because there was very little when we arrived. The stove was difficult to use, and there were only 3 forks in the cutlery drawer. The bathtub has a shower head, but nowhere to anchor it to the wall to use as a shower. The faucet knobs were difficult to turn. We could not figure out how to use the jets at all. Clear instructions would have made all the difference. We had to call to ask how to turn on the air conditioning--and again a rep was sent to the flat. On the positive side, the rental company folks were very responsive and helpful every time we contacted them! But things could have been so much easier if Instructions were clear in the first place (and we are two well-traveled college professors who have never had problems operating baths or a/c units or unlocking doors!). One safety issue in the flat is a metal staircase in the main bedroom that sticks out from the wall without a railing. The sharp stair steps were right at our head and eye level, so we layered a quilt around the sharp treads to keep from bumping our heads.

This is a large, charming apartment right in the middle of all the best parts of Rome and just a few blocks from the Colosseum. We loved the decor and the neighborhood and the convenience to so many destinations in the city. There are several excellent restaurants and cafes nearby, as well as shops and art. The living space and main bath/bedroom are very roomy and unique. There is also a private second room with a loft bed, bathroom and small outdoor balcony.

We were pleased with our stay overall but found the loft bed rather small and uncomfortable, it's really only suitable for children or a single adult, but alternatively there is a couch sofa in the living room. Check-in was done remotely and you need a phone with internet access to unlock the door.

I love the cute apartment. It was a great location and easy to walk to many attractions. You can even see the colosseum from on of the bedroom windows

I wish there were instructions on how to use the bathtub

The area is close to food (right outside your door) and a 10 minute walk to the Colosseum. The apartment itself was clean, cool bookshelf, and has 1 queen bed (main room) and 1 full size bed situated in a loft.

The apartment amenities were ok or lacking. They only provided 1 small packet of shampoo and 1 small soap bar for a 2 night stay. Although the location is close to food and attractions, it is VERY loud at night with the sound of people outside, trash collections (bottles clanging), and unfortunately woke us up frequently throughout the night. Earplugs help somewhat, but does not drown out all the outside noises.
