Silvia and her family are amazing!!! I arrived in Rome with no prior experience renting airbnbs or traveling abroad by myself, and they were so warm and kind and helpful. My flight arrived five hours earlier than check-in and they let me get settled in the already-cleaned bedroom while they finished cleaning the rest of the apartment. I'd scheduled a tour of a Vatican that afternoon so Silvia sat down with me and showed me on a map how to get there and explained which bus to take. When I had trouble with the lock on the door (which was entirely my fault- I got in), I called her cellphone and she took time out of her Sunday evening to come help right away (sorry about that!) While nothing fancy, the apartment is a nice size and the fridge was stocked with breakfast foods, snacks, and a bottle of wine. Wifi was good, hot water pressure was good, and it was clean. Plus the apartment building and the street/surrounding buildings are really cool and charming. Lastly, I could not believe the location!!! It's RIGHT in the center of Rome- I was able to stop off for bathroom breaks and snacks in between visits to the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Trevi and Spanish steps, etc.
Thank you Silvia!!!
