Germana was a perfect host who kept us up to date on all developments in the run up to our visit. On arrival, we were delighted to find a perfectly proportioned studio apartment in a great part of town (Trastevere). Despite the fact that it is a busy area, the apartment was quiet at night. Trastevere has plenty of bars and restaurants so there was no need to "go into the centre". We hired a scooter for one day with www.romeforyou.net which was a perfect as they were 5 minutes walk from the apartment. A wonderful stay in a wonderful city.
