We had a great stay at The inn of Trastevere. While we didn't meet Carmine, his communication was great despite the fact we were delayed and I was experiencing problems with my phone. We were met by his very nice friend who showed us around the apartment and gave us a great recommendation for lunch.

The apartment was very clean, lovely fresh towels were provided and even a bottle of wine. The kitchen is small but useable and in Rome we had no intention of doing much cooking!There is a lovely bakery across the road with beautiful croissants for breakfast. The only drawback I would mention is that due to the lack of ventilation there is a bit of a smell. We did not really notice it when we were there but did notice it on some of our clothes when we went to the next place on our route. The air-conditioning was very effective so despite the heat we were always nice an cool after a hard days sightseeing.

The best thing about this place is the location. It is a very cool neighbourhood bustling with amazing restaurants that offer great value. While it is possible to walk to all the main sights, we found that due to the heat in Rome in the summer on a couple of occasions we took a taxi which were very reasonable, between 8 - 15 euro.

Great value for money in an ideal location.
