We spent a week in Marco’s place in Trastevere and it was fabulous. As other reviews have mentioned, the neighborhood is great and close to everything, and at night it’s bustling with people and MANY restaurants and bars and gelaterias and pizzerias etc., but it’s crazy how completely silent the apartment is. We never heard a sound from inside the apartment but as we made our way down the one flight to the street we could hear the murmur of the people on the street. The apartment is in the back, one flight up and faces a charming courtyard and I guess that’s why it’s so quiet! As far as the apartment itself, it had everything we needed in terms of storage, comfortable bed, useful small kitchen, great bathroom set up, great HVAC (much needed in Rome in August!), washing machine and a drying rack which hangs off the sweet balcony which overlooks the courtyard. Check in and checkout were a breeze and Marco was quick to respond and very helpful every step of the way from booking to checking out. Next time we head to Rome the first thing we’ll do is check availability of this apartment.
