Silvia is a great host, answering and confirming bookings very very quickly. She was there to meet us and help our guests from out-of-town settle-in very quickly. Silvia's place is very clean and simple - perfect for those looking for the comforts of home, without being overpriced. It is well-situated if you want to see REAL ROME. Garbatella is a picturesque residential neighbourhood very close to the centre (1 & 2 & 3 metro stops from Testaccio, circo massimo & colliseum - respectively). It is also a very 'hip' neighbourhood with small boutiques, shops and restaurants. Transportation is easily accessible to/from centre and all around Rome - just need to do some 'homework' first to learn the system. We look forward to making bookings with Silvia again in the near future.
