Silvia was a wonderful host. Her place is beautiful and much more spacious than I imagined in the pictures. She was extremely flexible in accommodating our every need (early check-in and late check-out, extra linens for the pull out couch, restaurant and tour recommendations…). The apartment is in a beautiful and quiet residential area that while it’s not right next to the main sights (so away from the masses as well), it is still easy enough to walk to/from some of Rome’s principal attractions.
