Silvia is a lovely host, and her apartment is gorgeous. Four of us had a wonderful time there. We were able to walk to just about all the tourist attractions in the city, and then return at the end of the day to the quieter end of the Spanish steps neighborhood, right on the Tiber. There were lots of great shops and restaurants nearby, and the best gelato of our lives just across the river. Silvia provides her own recommendations of where to go and what to try, and she was helpful making reservations when our inadequate Italian failed us. We could not have asked for a nicer properly that was genuinely a home away from home.
