This is my second year staying at this apartment rental and it won't be my last. This spacious apartment on Via Monte del Gallo is just as beautiful as the pictures online show. Each bedroom has a view of the terrace and stunning Italian architecture. The terrace is one of the outstanding features of this apartment; it is accessible from one bedroom, off the living room, or through the kitchen. At 430 square feet, it is ample enough to entertain and impress. Not only can you see beautiful views of neighboring buildings, but you also have a fantastic view of St. Peter's Cupola. It's the perfect backdrop for a glass of wine in the evening, a light lunch on the patio, or even a dinner party. We hosted two dinner parties for 8 to 10 people on the terrace and it was spacious enough to accommodate the dinner table, sitting areas and even room for dancing. With such close access to the kitchen, cooking and serving was easy. Dinner soon turned into dancing. St. Peter's behind us, the cool Roman breeze rushing through, and jazz gently warming our souls. It was a magical moment thanks to such stunning surroundings. The family who owns the apartment, Enrico, Corrado and Liliana have become family to me now as well. They are the epitome of Italians - kind, inviting, welcoming, and helpful. They went out of their way to make our stay a special one. I have been coming to Rome annually for over 10 years now. Mostly I stayed in hotels. Not only is staying in an apartment more convenient, but it truly gives you the experience of "living" in Rome. After a long day on the town, it is nice to come back to a home, rather than a room. You have all the comforts of a fully-equipped kitchen, a flat-screen TV, and WiFi. In just minutes you can walk from the apartment to the Vatican or hop on a bus to the center. It's a perfect location close to all the sites, but tucked away on a residential street so that you are sheltered from the noise. It's truly a dream. read more
