Simonetta's Malva apartment was wonderful. You felt right at home and it was located close to everything and in a quaint neighborhood with great sidewalk cafe's and resturaunts. We arrived early and Simonetta was gracious enough to let us leave our luggage while she finished cleaning. She greeted us with wine, juice and fresh pastries and that were delicious. She left detailed information about all of Rome's sights and how to get to them on the bus route or walk. She informed us where good places to eat and shop were also. She could not have been a better hostess. The apartment had old charm as well with heavy beamed ceilings and the best terrace. It was large and filled with many beautiful plants. Simonetta explained everything and even arranged for a shuttle pickup to the airport. When we go back to Rome, we will definetly contact Simonetta. A fabulous placevto stay.
