We didn't get the chance to meet Sophia since she was away for a little holiday but she was very good at keeping in touch with us before we arrived and making sure we could get to the place ok. We were greeted by her sister Kristy, who was an absolute pleasure to say with. The house itself was immaculate and the room was beautiful with air conditioning. Kristy was very warm and generous. Sophia's apartment is very conveniently located right near the metro station. I enjoyed staying away from the middle of the city, some nice restaurants (and lovely gelato) around and very easy to get to central Rome. I would love to visit again and wouldn't hesitate to stay here if I ever get to go back to Rome. Recommended!!! An absolute bargain and one of the best places we have stayed.
