Enjoy a welcoming and interesting apartment in the characteristic Monti district. The Cicero apartment is complete and especially charming. If you use the second bedroom that will sleep one, then the large size of the master bedroom is especially nice, because it has its own comfortable reading area.
There is a wealth of restaurants, beautiful shops with fine items of all kinds. Some guests find this are more fun to explore than jostling with the crowds around the Spanish Steps. The Cicero apartment is located right in the center of Monti, about equidistant to the Cavour and Coliseum subway stations. It is not on the far side of the Coliseum where you will find apartments that are a considerable distance from this desirable neighborhood. The building is located on a limited traffic street in Monti. There is local traffic. Directly across the street is a cafe with WIFI.
The apartment is on the second floor (American designation) and there is no elevator, so you will need to climb one flight of stairs. You enter the apartment into the living room which is spacious and features the original wood beams in the high ceiling. The room is internal so glass bricks above the doors of the external rooms bring in natural light. Many lamps ensure adequate lighting. There are several very nice piece of antique furniture from France. In a niche on the wall is a Roman statue of Cicero.
In the living room is a television with DVD player (European standard). No satellite reception, so Italian shows only. There is also a CD player. The dining table is set against a partial wall that separates the small, well equipped kitchen. Next to the kitchen are handy cupboards. The master bedroom is very large and has a queen sized bed and a cozy, well-lit reading area. A large antique armoire has plenty of room for clothing. The second bedroom with a single bed doubles as a study. There is an armoire for your clothing. Across the living room from the bedrooms is the bathroom that has a shower over tub. An alcove has a window that overlooks the inner courtyard. In the alcove is the washing machine.

This was our second stay at the wonderful Cicero apartment where we lived like Romans. A vast improvement has been made in the last two years with new windows that block most, if not all, of the street noise. We walked everywhere from this location, no public transportation needed for us (family of 3 including a 12-year-old son). It's well worth the money spent to live like a local, and of course, the owner is fabulous! The apartment has everything necessary for your stay and is most comfortable. We will likely go back

The Cicero apartment in Monti is in a wonderful central location. Monti has many cozy Osterias, small local designer boutiques and antique shops. The area is not overrun by tourists (yet) and feels more like being in a village than in a large city. El Baretto, the little cafe across the street has the best capucchino in town and became our favorite place to start and end the day. If you like a retreat in which you can sit comfortably and look out at the world after an exhausting day of walking and sight seeing Cicero is not be the right choice for you. The two windows of the apertment face the narrow one way street (Via del Boschetto) and since the apartment is on the 2nd american floor you will not see the sky unless you stand right at the window. This made us a bit claustrophic so we spent minimal time in the apartment itself. Lesson learned, next time we will get the apartment with a terrace. If this is not one of your concerns and you are looking for a nicely decorated apartment,equipped with all necessities,very secure and in an area that is still authentic and lovely...Cicero is for you!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cicero apartment. It was beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable. The neighborhood was delightful - fresh produce, pizza, salumi/cheeses, wine, beer, boutiques and 56 flavors of gelato...all within a block or two. Restaurants were "squisito", and we enjoyed hanging out by the Monti fountain every night with the locals. The Colosseo, Forum, and St. Peter in Chains were all within a ten minute walk. Bus 117 was a breeze to get to the Spanish Steps. Taxis were very prompt. The apartment's owner Beatrice was extremely gracious. We enjoyed communicating with her in Italian-English. After 5 days, we felt like we were truly citizens of the Eternal City. Grazie e arrivederci, Italy Perfect!

Let me start off by saying that our greeter, Paul and the owner (I can't remember her name) were awesome. They were very nice and answered all our questions, arranged taxi's for us, explaine how to use everything in the apartment, recommended places to eat, etc. We really liked the apartment, it was clean, had lots of books on Rome to use. We especially liked the neighbourhood. It had a very non tourist feel to it. There were many local people around which we really liked. One of the things we really liked doing was going down the street at the end of the night to the local fountain and hanging out with the neighbours and have a beer. People were very friendly. I would definatly recommend IP to my friends. As a matter of fact I already did.

The Cicero apartment was perfect for the two of us. Everything we needed for cooking, dining and relaxation was provided. Beatrice had a binder with all the local markets, restaurants and specialty shops listed, and just about anything else you needed to know about the apartment or the neighborhood. From the apartment we could walk to just about any sight or hop on the metro at the nearby Cavour station. The owner, Beatrice, was charming and made our stay perfect. We've already recommended Italy Perfect to several friends.

I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how perfect both apartments were. Although both were great, I have to say, Rome was our favourite. But then, Rome itself was our favourite! Beatrice and Gianni are two of the nicest people. They made everything so nice for us, from the bottle of wine and fruit and chocolates, to the maps, lists of restaurants, markets, sights to see....just on and on. They spent the time going over everything with us making us feel like we were being welcomed by two friends. The apartment is so beautiful....Beatrice has made sure there is everything one would need at your finger tips. She has done a fabulous job making the apartment unforgettable, thus making Rome unforgettable. It has been a pleasure going through Italy Perfect. Thank you so much.

We are sadly back from our trip to Rome. Apr 2011 I wanted to thank you so much for your apartment recommendation - it was wonderful! The location was perfect, but more importantly the apartment was warm and welcoming. The owner and property manager greeted us and were both so helpful. The apartment was spotless, roomy, and well equipped. The owner had some wonderful touches - a book I like to call our "cheat sheets" on how to operate all the appliances, where to find things from markets, bank, pharmacy, restaurants to favorite stores and sights in the local area. She had candy in dishes, welcoming wine and fruit upon our arrival - it was all lovely! Our neighborhood and all of the people in it was a favorite! Though we toured the city all day, at night we wanted to come back to the neighborhood for our favorite places to eat. We quickly became known by all and shared conversation and good food. By the way, thanks for the recommendation for car service. Stefano was great. The service was timely, the cars were new and clean, and the driver very capable. I sent him a personal thank you! Your service was incredible. Thanks so much for all the guides you provided. I read it all and it came in handy throughout the trip. I will definatley use your service again when traveling in Italy. And believe me.....I will return!

Nice Apartment in the Heart of Rome This is a spacious and comfortable apartment in the heart of Rome. The high ceilings make the apartment feel even more spacious. It is easy to walk to many major sights from here and the metro is only a few blocks away. The neighborhood feels more cozy than lots of other parts of Rome. The owner is very friendly and helpful.

Our family had a great time in Rome and the Cicero Apt. was perfect for us. Beatrice and Paul met us and updated us with everything we needed to know about the area and our apartment. We started everyday with a coffee right across the street from our apartment which also had WiFi. We were about two blocks from the Coliseum, Palantine Hills, Forum, and Victor Emmanual Monument. The Trevi Fountain, Campo Di Fiori, Piazza Navonna, and Pantheon was probably about a 15-20 minute walk. Nationale Street was one block away which had buses going in both directions to Termini Train Station (1/2 Mile) or Saint Peter's Basilica (1 1/2 Miles) in the other direction. We never took the bus but could have if we were tired. There were two good restaurants on our block, Tavernale and The Garden Restaurant. Beatrice also told us that there was a pasta shop about a block away. We went back 3 times to buy spinach rav's, meat tortellini, and gnocchi. IT WAS DELICIOUS. Had a wonderful stay and the Cicero apartment. was very cozy and warm. I would highly recommend the Cicero apartment.

Feel like a local in Rome! Nov 2010 We really enjoyed our stay in the Cicero apartment. The location was fabulous -- NOT swarming with tourists but so close to the Colosseo that we saw it every day. We used the wonderful notebook of information Beatrice left and shopped in the neighborhood for fresh pasta, cheese, wine and salume, gelato and other critical items. We hung out in the piazza one evening with all the locals, enjoying a glass of wine before dinner. It was great! The apartment was very comfortable and very quiet at night (unlike an apartment we rented near Piazza Navona the previous year from another company). We had our breakfast espressi each morning at the bar across the street before heading off on that day's adventure. We booked tours with Through Eternity for the Forum/Coloseum and their Underground tour. Both were excellent: very knowledgable guides, small groups and a good value. We did our own day trip to Pompeii. It was fantastic! Had a great meal at Al Bric, near Campo dei Fiori. Tried to get into Taverna Trilussa in Trastevere our last night but when we called for a reservation, the earliest seating they had was at 11:30 (yes, PM!). Ah well, something to look forward to on our next trip. We will definitely book through Italy Perfect again. We really appreciated all the information and assistance Pat provided. Thank you!
