We had a wonderful stay at Silvia's in Roma. When I asked her, she is a wonderful host and made us feel right at home and showed us where all the sites was to visit on a map. She visited with us but also gave us space to do our own thing when we wanted.
The room was very comfortable and clean and we were also able to do laundry and use the kitchen if we choose to.
I can highly recommend Silvia's place to stay and would love to go back again.
