Our family of four - including two teen-to-twenties kids - had a really enjoyable stay in Silvia's place. The location was excellent - it was an easy walk to many of the sights, and since we enjoy walking, we in fact walked everywhere. There was a binder in the apartment with guidance on local restaurants, sightseeing etc., and we used those tips quite a bit. Through the contacts in the binder, we also booked a personal guide for the Forum, Palatine and Colosseum and it was well worth it. Dennis was very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator - this was one of the highlights of our visit. Whenever we had occasion to text with Silvia through the Airbnb text service, she was very responsive, and it worked well.
The apartment was very nice - spacious, clean and well appointed, with lots of room for the four of us. Being super hot in Rome in summer, the air-conditioning was essential. We loved the rooftop terrace which had a spectacular 360 view of Rome, and spent multiple evenings up there with wine and snacks. Silvia graciously invited us to join her for drinks on the terrace before we left and we had a great time chatting that evening.
I would definitely stay here again and recommend it for a family.
