Sophie was an absolutely wonderful hostess who is clearly very passionate about providing fantastic holiday experiences to those who stay with her.
There was initially a little issue as some building work was due to overrun, but Sophie organised for us to stay with one of her friends in their apartment for two nights which allowed us to see two different areas of Rome and plan our trip accordingly. Additionally her husband collected our bags for us, allowing my partner and I to move easily between the two flats.
Sophie's apartment is absolutely beautiful and has everything you need - though the kitchen is small it is incredibly well designed and you can cook a modest meal with ease. The terrace is lovely and the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening, or Sophie's incredible breakfasts every morning! Very close to Villa Borghese and the Spanish steps and within easy travelling distance to the historic centre of Rome and further afield - we spent one day in Ostia enjoying the ruins and local beaches, well worth a trip if you have the time!
Sophie is full of local knowledge and recommendations which gave us the chance to enjoy local restaurants which were off the beaten track and other areas of Rome which we hadn't necessarily considered. She is also incredibly kind and made us feel as though we could ask her anything at all.
Cannot recommend staying with Sophie enough, her flat is beautiful and comfortable and Sophie herself is fantastic! Merci bien Sophie, nous aimerions rester avec vous encore!
