Silvia was very accommodating and made us feel welcome. She arranged for the keys to be available even when she couldn't be there, and left fresh focaccia for our enjoyment on arrival- yum! The space is a cozy studio as described, but has everything that one needs. We made good use of the kitchenette, washer and even the garden space when the sun came out. There are vendors of fresh bread, produce, meats etc. just down the stairs that lead to the studio, making it very easy to eat breakfast and a few meals in. The bed was very comfortable, and with light blocking curtains, we slept very well. The location by St. Peter's basilica was spectacular given we took a short cut across Vatican City daily, catching the majesty at several times of day. Between the buses and on foot, we made our way easily all over Rome from this location.
The internet connection was good, but only if you are at the front door or out on the steps- fine if the weather is good!
