This first floor apartment in a shared building served as an oasis for us during our three night stay in Rome. Nestled in the heart of Trestevere, it is a short walk to a bus or tram which takes you into the heart of Rome. It was a perfect home base for us to see the highlights of Rome--some of which we walked to and others we used the bus/tram (both are nearby). The apartment is quiet, spacious, clean and comfortable. There are two separate, quiet, efficient air conditioning units ("mini-splits") in the bedroom and living room which work well and the apartment stays relatively cool without AC even in hot weather. The bed is comfy and the shower is excellent. The partially covered patio is another lovely place to relax, read a book or have a cup of coffee. We really appreciated the extensive notebook that Paulo put together of recommendations for everything you can imagine (including gluten free restaurants). There is also a nice collection of Rome travel books. The kitchen is relatively well stocked though we weren't there to cook! There is a Nespresso coffeemaker which you will need to buy pods for at the nearby grocery store. We like the Trestevere neighborhood because of it's smaller scale, vibrant nightlife, narrow, cobblestones streets and choices for restaurants and bars. If you are uncomfortable with bustling nightlife and a very active street scene at night this may not be the place for you but we appreciated being able to walk out the door to restaurants and bars and then home again. Even though the apartment is in the middle of the action it is remarkably quiet and peaceful. Please note that Trastevere is adorned with quite a bit of street art (aka graffiti), an eclectic sampling of which is on the front door of the building so don't be surprised or put off. We never took cabs so I can't say how easy it is for a cab to access the property but please note that many streets in Trastevere are foot traffic only. We loved it here and would definitely stay again!
