We really enjoyed our time in Rome staying at this apartment. Our host met us promptly at 3 o'clock and went over the apartment. The apartment is located in a very secure gated community. Although the actual apartment was pretty simplistic it was located in the amazing lively neighborhood of Trastevere. The neighborhood was perfect for us with many local shops, restaurants, and bars to explore all within walking distance. We ate a delicious restaurant no more than a 10 to 15 minute walk and visited the shops and bars along the riverfront. You really felt like a local while in this area. There are also pretty frequent buses to all of the tourist attractions. We were able to get to the Coliseum and Vatican City easily by bus. Like the other posts stated it can be very hot in the apartment even with the fan so make sure to pack light clothes to sleep in. Great location for those wanting to explore.
