Silvia's apartment is the best! Adorable in every way possible, and Silvia was such a great host. Always very timely with responses to any question we had. The apartment is in an area of Monti that is not quite "in the thick of" the more small business and restaurant-centric Monti, FYI. But it's about a 5 minute walk to the Monti that you can Instagram until your fingers bleed. Just map the Cavour metro stop and walk that way. Go down the steps at that station (on the "other" side of the street from the direction you'd be going from Silvia's), and you're in it. As far as groceries, there is a small market just down the alley from Silvia's should you need anything (booze, TP, snacks, etc.) - you turn left out of Silvia's to get there. If your turn right, there's a grocery store open until midnight that has much more if you so need... All in all, a lovely place and very conveniently located. If you're looking for more ritzy or high priced shops, not quite the right place. If you're looking for character and a legit Italian neighborhood vibe, look no further.
