Marco met us when we arrived and is a kind host, but the apartment is best as a base for people who want to spend time in Trastevere and not spend much time in the apartment. The location is great. It's steps from good bars and restaurants, which means there is a good amount of noise in the first floor apartment. But the apartment itself is in need of improvement. The upstairs shower does not work properly. The shower head is broken and the water spills out the side. The shower door was also broken and does not open/close properly. The toilet also didn't work very well. If you have trash, you have to take it down to the main square about 100 meters away. There is no trash collection in the building. There is no TV available either, which wasn't an issue for us, but may be for others. Internet is also a bit slow, but not too bad.
