Sofia was a great host. She met us at the apartment when we arrived and explained what we needed to know. She was always available to answer questions. The apartment was comfortable and just like the pictures. She gave us suggestions for local restaurants (we went to Mamma Angelina's twice) and a supermarket. She gave us a package of coffee because she knew we wanted to have coffee in the morning in the apt. We really enjoyed being in a local neighborhood. It was clean, quiet, safe and a very convenient walk to buses and metro. There were great cafes with excellent pastries. The local supermarket, Conad, was great. The workers were friendly and helpful. One gave us samples of mozzarella and suggested a bottle of wine. This was our first trip to Italy and Sophia and her apartment helped to make it a great experience and perfect trip.
