Our experience was uniformly positive. Silvana greeted us at the apartment on our arrival, showed us how everything worked, and gave us recommendations for grocery stores and restaurants. The apartment is actually larger than it looks in the pictures, and the neighborhood is fantastic -- close enough to the center of Trastevere that it's easy to get to resetaurants and mass transit in a few minutes, but far enough removed that you can be sure of quiet when you're in the apartment. I higjly recommend the apartment and the host.
