Knowing my way around Rome, I wanted to be in a very central location, so I chose Trastevere. Andrea's apartment was better than what I had anticipated.
I was travelling alone, so had some concerns about abandoned streets, but this place was well lit, easily accessible and very conveniently located.
Everything worked and although I didn't cook, the kitchen (though small) was well armed with everything necessary including basic cooking items (salt, oil, sugar, etc).
Very clean, many extra towels, comfy bed, extra blankets...A+++
I accidently dropped the keys down the elevator shaft and called Andrea. He was there in minutes with an extra set of keys and made the whole situation very pleasant.
Extra...That rooftop terrace is an oasis.
Highly recommend!!
