We had a great time at Silvio's for a week over Christmas. The apartment was lovely and warm, and the kitchen had all the amenities that we needed. The situation, on a quiet street on the edge of Osborne Village, is very convenient. Silvio was very friendly and helpful, providing the odd extra thing that we needed and the use of the washer and drier. He even contacted us prior to arrival to offer us the use of the 3rd bedroom in the apartment (that he is in the process of renovating) rather than the originally booked room in his part of the house, so that we could all be together. Ideal!
