We could not be more pleased with our stay at Cecelia's Terrace.
Elena arranged to have us picked up at the airport by Gorgio. She greeted us at the apartment with a welcoming tour of our new home.
During our 10 day stay we enjoyed most breakfasts and dinners on the roof top terrace. Often we grabbed food "to go" from a friendly neighborhood vendor. We found everything we needed in the kitchen to cook a delicious pasta dinner. The entire apartment was perfectly equipped and very clean.
Monti quickly became our home. Plenty of shopping and dining to enjoy. Not too many tourist shops. Vendors remembered our faces.
All of Rome's sights seem to be "around the corner". When we didn't want to walk, the metro was a block away.
There were times when the neighborhood was so quiet- we couldn't believe that we were in such a huge city. And then, there were times when we could hear music and laughter in the streets and from the music schools- making us feel as if we were a part the energy of the city.
We look forward to our return.
