Simonetta couldn't have been more lovely, greeting us with open arms & a European kiss as we stepped out of the taxi into attractive Piazza Di San Giovani Della Malva. Simonetta's apartment is as described & beautiful, very comfortable, well furnished & has everything you could need. It is first floor, private & suprisingly quiet at night in such a lively, popular area. It has a great leafy outdoor area to eat or relax in. Great restaurants & bars are right there in the Piazza for you, it's close to the river & public transport. We really enjoyed walking along the river under the shady trees & watched the sun go down. Simonetta explains everything about the apartment really well, & has a folder of directions to many monuments & attractions. Simonetta had offered to take our bags early if we arrived in Rome before check in which was very kind, & she did keep them for a few hours after check out time until we were ready to catch our train. Awesome :-)
