My family and I (children aged 15 & 20) recently stayed at Manara House for 7 nights. After we arrived, we were met by Carla's charming daughter, who gave us a walk-through of the flat. The Flat had enough room for the 4 of us and we were comfortable when we were there.

There is a fresh fruit/veg., meat/fish, cheese, bread and pasta Market (Mon.-Sat.) in the Square (Piazza San Cosimato) behind Manara House. The fruit & veg was plentiful and fresh, vendors spoke good English along with our smattering of Italian. The Market was very handy and meant we only went to the grocery stores for essentials. We also enjoyed a morning Espresso at Terre D'Acqua, a restaurant on the Market-side (NW end) of Manara House, on the Ground floor.
There are 3 grocery stores in the immediate neighbourhood, one of these offering a multitude of imported grocery items, including tea and sweets!

We enjoyed exploring Trastevere with it's many (specialty) food shops, restaurants, the Piazza, Basilica, Gelato, bijou shops & street sellers.
We found the Flat in a good locale to walk to the Vatican and other iconic sights within the Historic Centre. It was good exercise and we did not use any public
Transportation while we were there, only our Taxis to and from the Airport. We particularly enjoyed accessing the City Centre across Tiber Island; this is a pretty spot with lovely views, where there's always something going on and the Gelato is good!

Massimo, Carla's husband, was extremely efficient and very personable in responding to any questions or requests we had during our stay; also he kindly assisted us to Book our return Taxi to Rome Airport, the evening before our departure. (Prior to our visit to Manara House, Carla was also very polite and efficient responding to my emails.)

Thank you and we wish you continued success with Manara House!
