My flight into Rome arrived late at night and as I was familiar with the city, I had questions about late night arrival, transportation from the airport, and safety in the area of the apartment. Matilda was very helpful and quick to respond to all my questions. And the apartment is excellent! Great location, right beside a bustling plaza with a daytime market with vendors selling clothes, flowers, spices, oils, limoncello, wood carvings, etc, shops nearby with quality shoes, belts, dresses, etc, and lively cafes and bars open late into the night. So it’s an excellent location, BUT very quiet and peaceful inside the apartment— I heard only the neighbors’ doors open and close occasionally, and the church bells chiming. The place is very comfortable, and I liked it all so much I asked if I could extend my stay a few days longer, but there were other guests coming right after me. I would definitely stay at Matilda’s again (and hopefully will the next time I’m in Rome!)
