Silvia was an excellent host. Our flight was delayed and we didn't arrive until early in the morning. Silvia gave us perfect instructions on how to check in. When we were switching places to stay it was the Rome marathon getting a cab was impossible. Silvia came down and let us keep our luggage in her apartment until cabs were allowed back into central Rome. Taking those steps for us proves to me she is an outstanding host. The apartment is in easy walking distance to the Spanish steps and not a long hike to the Vatican
