We chose Silvia's apartment based on the reviews that we read. They were all such positive reviews and I can see why. The apartment is located in a very lovely area of Rome that is very inviting, centrally located and very safe. Everything that you want to see in Rome is well within walking distance. We even walked back to the apartment from the Vatican. The apartment was lovely and inviting. Very clean and comfortable. Silvia was a most gracious host and left the kitchen very well stocked for us. Unfortunately my son who was studying at the American University in Rome arrived a few days before me and took advantage of the items that Silvia left for us including the two bottles of wine! She checked in with us several times via email to see if we needed anything and also assisted us with a taxi to the airport on our last morning. I can not say enough positive things about Silvia and her lovely apartment. If I ever get a chance to go back, I know where I am staying!
