Luisa is a wonderful host - very responsive to our questions, easy to get in contact with, very friendly, and gave a thorough and engaging tour of the apartment as soon as we arrived there. She even arranged an airport ride for us through a car service the very afternoon we got to Rome so we didn't have to think/perseverate at all about what to do at the end of our trip, which was a huge help!
The apartment is very lovely - spacious, well-furnished (with very unique and artistic touches throughout the apartment - it is super charming!), lots of cooking implements and dishware at one's disposal, a pantry with many basic cooking necessities provided, a clawfoot bathtub (!!! so wonderful!), great water pressure and hot water on demand, all around comfortable for a small family (or group of friends), and located in a fantastic neighborhood. It is very quiet during the day and at night, and yet is super close to so many major attractions in Rome. We literally walked 10 minutes north to reach the Vatican, 20 minutes to reach Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon, and even found the Coliseum and Roman Forum to be a walkable distance for us (it took 40 minutes or so to arrive there on foot). The Trastevere neighborhood was perhaps our favorite area in all of Rome, and we were right in the heart of it. So many incredible restaurants, great shopping, really vibrant nightlife, and a great glimpse into local life can be found within this neighborhood, and it's all so very close! An added bonus of this rental is that it is just on the fringes of the Orto Botanico, a peaceful and lovely botanical garden area, which allowed us an extra sense of serenity even while being so near the bustling heart of the city. Hearing only the sounds of birds in the morning was such a treat!
The apartment is only on the second floor of the building, so it is a bit easier to access than many of the other places we stayed in Italy, which might make a difference for those who can't easily handle a lot of stairs.
We would recommend Luisa's place to anyone! It is a great home-base from which to experience Rome. We hope to return someday. Thank you, Luisa, for sharing your lovely apartment with us!
