Silvia is a wonderful host and has a beautiful home! The room and private bathroom are just the right size and both were super clean. The room stays cool even when it's hot outside. The room has its own lock for those interested in that. Note that though the kitchen is clean, there is an ant problem and you have to be careful about not leaving food out.
Silvia's home is located in a quiet and safe neighborhood with a grocery store, pizzeria and bakery all within a 5-min walk. Rome's main sights are just half an hour away and are conveniently accessed with a 3-min walk to a bus stop or a 15-min walk to a subway station.
Finally, Silvia is such a generous host, with a wealth of knowledge about places to visit and how to get there! She took the time to draw map for me, and makes great desserts :)
