Location very good and Elisabetta a lovely host but sadly the loft in Trastavere was a disappointment. It is only suitable for a couple with 2 children, certainly not 4 adults as there is no privacy just a net curtain between the 2 bedrooms! Access to the bathroom is via one of the bedrooms too, so please be aware of this.The apartment is very tired and needs decorating and updating. There was no matching crockery, the mugs were badly chipped and there only 2 dessert spoons, and no pans with handles to cook with or a kettle. In an apartment advertised for 4 people you would expect to get 4 of everything including chairs around the table-there were only 2! The bathroom I'm afraid is an accident waiting to happen; very poorly lit with 3 steps, an angle poise lamp over the shower and a switch for the light over the mirror right above the washbasin. If you are over 5 feet tall then you won't get a decent shower as it's far too low & the wall bracket is loose also. The tap/shower flow director does not work correctly giving only half the amount of water for your use. If you choose to use the bath it is very short. We noted that the washing machine was still broken and this had been reported on the AIr B&B website before we left for our holiday! Overall the apartment could be brightened up with more lighting and the access for guests coming home in the dark is very gloomy. We had to feel for the lock to put the key in!!! The ceiling fan controller hangs off the wall. There is no satellite TV for English speaking guests so if you fancy a quiet night away from the crowds take a book.
This is an apartment with a lot of potential in a great area for Trastavere and just a short walk over the river to the attractions but it does need some tender loving care paid to it. When we pay to stay in an apartment we would like to enjoy the experience of a "home from home" and enjoy cooking with fresh ingredients of the region but sadly as there had been little attention paid to provision of kitchen goods we decided not to even try. Please Elisabetta just realise what you have in this apartment. You want people to away with good memories and recommend your place to friends don't you? I'm sorry that we couldn't be more positive about the apartment but we agree with the earlier lone voice who a more realistic account of the apartment.
