Michele was wonderful host. Shortly after booking, Michele let me know all the practicalities about reaching the flat and how to get hold of him.

I was welcomed by Mrs Gioen who explained everything I needed to know about my stay. Michele also called me and welcomed me (he was on holiday at the time.)

The flat itself is nicely appointed in a modern style which contrasts nicely with Trastevere and the rest of Rome. It was clean, comfortable and the air-conditioning was a welcome relief from the heat and humidity. Ample closet space and the presence of a washer meant clean clothes the whole time.

The location: Excellent! Within 5-10 minutes walking distance from main thoroughfares of Trastevere and Lungotevere, yet very quiet so, after a night out with buzzing crowds and people, you get a good night's sleep. The WiFi worked well and was quite fast--this is always important to me when traveling. A major bus/tram line just steps outside the entrance whisks you away in minutes to the city center and all the sights.

I would not hesitate to come back and stay here. In fact, this would be my first choice in Rome.
