The Ripa Rome Trastevere apartment is situated in a lively area with many bars and restaurants and is an easy 10 minute walk into Rome over the Tiber. It is a very spacious and comfortable apartment which provides a nice counterpoint to the crowds and bustle of the city. There is a supermarket on the block and a pharmacy within 5 minutes walk. Although Ekaterina could not meet us in person she was very friendly and communicative and helped with all questions and queries even when we were there. It is good to note that Trastevere is a lively area and can be noisy at night. If future guests are sensitive to this it is a good idea to bring earplugs.
