We love staying in Monti; it's like being in a small town in the center of a big city.This property was excellent for our most recent stay. It's wonderfully located and was entirely sufficient for our needs. It was clean and very comfortable. Gabriele is a superior host. From the check-in through the stay, the communications could not have been better. Everything about the stay here was top-rated. This is an apartment we would stay in again without hesitation.

Excellent place to stay! Clean apartment that was the perfect size for me and my husband. Super close to many of Rome’s main attractions. And Gabriele was excellent - he came to the property to meet us and showed us how things worked in the apartment. He was also quick and responsive whenever we had questions. Would absolutely stay here again!

An ideal location within 30 minutes walk of most of Rome's attractions, but also close to Cavour Metro too. Monti is a vibrant place with lots of boutique shops to explore. The apartment had plenty of room for a couple and the little kitchen was sufficient enough to cook simple pasta meals in. I would certainly stay here again.

Perfect stay over the weekend in Gabriele‘s appartment. Close to all important spots in old town room. Many restautants and Bars around. Despite busy surroundings it is a quiet appartment. Fully equipped, you do not miss anything. Gabriele was personally present at check-in to help with all the details. We would come back!

From his warm greeting at our arrival to his “spot on” restaurant recommendations made our stay absolutely amazing!!! The proximity to the Colosseum and other attractions made getting around so easy!Gabriele is a very gracious and attentive host, who from our online booking thru our departure remained responsive to all our inquiries.Hopefully we’re able to stay longer on our next visit!!!By the way, his recommendation of Chicco di Grano was my family’s favorite!!! Everything was Deliziosa!!!!Ciao and Grazie!Lynda, Milt and Sophia

Hi Lynda, I'm the one who thanks you for writing this lovely review and for choosing my house for your holiday, you were exceptional guests, very respectful of the house and it was a pleasure to meet your family. I'm happy that you appreciated many things and these kind words give me even more push to always try to offer a good experience to my guests. I wish to you and to Milt and Sophia all the best
What an incredibly wonderful stay. The apartment is impeccably clean and has every single thing you would need. The bed was so comfortable, and they even provided a soft and harder pillow. Gabriel was prompt, attentive and informative. Of the 5 locations/accommodations I stayed at during my time in Italy, this one was the best. The location was amazing. Every single thing you could want is just steps away. I loved that I could just pop in and freshen up and go right back out. Such a well equipped apartment and thoughtful host left few questions. When I had a question, Gabriel responded immediately and was able to provide the information I needed. I felt so safe and "at home" here. My only hesitation in writing this review is that his place might not be available the next time I want to stay. Thank you so much for this amazing time. I am so grateful.🙏

Dear Jennifer you left me speachless with your review :-) First of all thanks to you for choosing my house..
I'm so happy that you appreciated my house and your stay and was a pleasure for me to know that I managed to make you have a great experience during your stay in Rome. I will do everything I can, to always try to offer impeccable service to my guests and my home will always be available for you. I wish you all the best. Best regards
We picked this property for its location in the Monti district and location to the Colosseum, Forum and walking distance to train station! Gabriel met us to help us check in/out, give us access instructions and walk us through the apartment. It was a good landing spot, close to many restaurants, gelato, bars .. even right on the street a few doors down. The bed is comfy, small kitchenette with Nespresso! Shower is tight but functional. Nice space for resting after walking the city daily. It was hot the first 2 days and the AC was not helpful. We had 2 portable fans with us to move the still air to help us get to sleep. Weather cooled down then fine with windows open (European way). We did some laundry in the washer and used the drying rack to lay it to dry! Worked great! Cute little place in a good location. It would be tight for 4 people but there is a small couch that opens to a bed that we did not test. It’s located in an access controlled building that is some rental/some personal apartments. Cute interior space. One note.. taxis do not like to come to the door for drop off so you may need to walk up from the main street.. short easy walk. Slippers provided! Good find!!

Thank you for choosing my home and taking the time to write this review. I am pleased that many things were appreciated and your stay was pleasant. I will always try to do the best for my guests and I am pleased when this is appreciated.
I would just like to clarify some things you wrote: The air conditioning was simply not turned on during your stay (in the building there is a condominium air conditioning system that can be turned on respecting the law that the mayor of Rome made so DO NOT can turn on in April ) :-)
As you rightly said, here in Rome it is possible to open the windows to get fresh air and we don't always have to turn on the air conditioners, we have different habits..
The sofa bed, should 4 people arrive (as has often happened) is a double sofa bed, very large and comfortable.
Perhaps you have found a taxi driver who is a little lazy because it is usually possible to easily arrive by car in front of the main door of the building on the street.
Thank you again for choosing my home and maybe one day we will meet again. I wish the best.
Appartement tres propre et bien équipé, bien situé dans le centre historique pour visites, commerces et restaurants. Connexion wifi excellente. Grand lit avec matelas confortable. Petit bemol, la cabine de douche est un peu petite. Excellent séjour de 3 jours.

About the host
Hosted by gabriele Lucaroni
Why they chose this property
Rione Monti boasts more than 2,000 years of history and becomes the oldest district in the city
Particularly appreciated from this point of view and increasingly popular in recent years is the area between via Nazionale and via Cavour (via del Boschetto, via dei Serpenti, via Panisperna and via Baccina), which due to the particularity of the houses , the narrow streets, the artisan workshops, the small shops seem to retain the characteristics of nineteenth-century Rome. The area, full of trattorias, bars and various clubs, revolves around the small square of Madonna dei Monti, near the church of the same name, which still also serves as a meeting point for local residents and occasional visitors. Monti is a district in continuous movement and an attraction for thousands of tourists, with its main arteries, the Colosseum, the Imperial Forums, its towers and noble palaces, which make it one of the most beautiful and full of history districts of the whole Rome
What makes this property unique
To experience Rome not only as a tourist but to feel part of the eternal city, Colosseum secret domus is the ideal location.
