Silvana was a lovely hostess, very kind and welcoming. The apartment is wonderful - we stayed for a month and it was a great winter base in Rome that was light and bright and really felt like a cosy home away from home. Lovely shower, comfortable bed, and everything we needed in the kitchen. Piazza Cosimo is a 1 minute walk away, with many options for coffee and food, and where there's also a food market every morning (veg, fish, meat and cheese) as well as 2 different little supermarkets. From Piazza Cosimo it's a short stroll into the heart of Trastevere and Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere - and also to the Porta Portese Sunday flea market. The stops for the tram to Piazza Vicenza and the H bus to Termini are both a few mins walk away- or you can walk across the bridge to Piazza Argentina in 15 mins. The bikes were a wonderful extra (as long as you chart a course through the pedestrian areas, get a map of the bike lanes or bike along the river, as the main roads can be a bit scary!) Thank you Silvana - we had a lovely stay and will see you again in a year or two on our next trip to Roma! Ciao - Karen and Stephen.
