Matilde is a very kind and thoughtfull host. Always polite and helpfull, she gave us good directions to places we wanted to go and great advice. The apartment was very nice, clean, colorfull, comfortable. I really felt at home. She accomodated us with a great breakfast and took time to answer any questions we had about the city and how to navigate. The metro is only a lock away and the vatican is a very short walk. There are places to eat all around too. I highly recomend anyone going to Rome to stay with Matilde. It was a pleasure visiting her and we will contact her if ever we are back in Rome.
