In the sentence これは[本当]ほんとに[高]たかいです, meaning "This is really expensive", I'm having trouble understanding the meaning of に, which usually has some connotation of "to", "on", or "at".
This is a phrase presented in Memrise Japanese Level 3, and I'm trying to start understanding the grammatical sense of the phrases.

If you really wanted to force a preposition into an English translation of 本当に so that it made more sense, you could say the the に is equivalent to the 'In' in 'In reality'.
