A room with a view in a 18th century palazzo with character!
This was our first experience with Airbnb and we could not have asked for a better host as Elisabetta. She answered all our questions prior to our trip. A few days before we arrived in Rome she sent us clear and precise indications on how to get at 'The Suite', where she welcomed us. She provided us a map of the neighbourhood and a list of nearby shops and restaurants, which was very useful. Elisabetta arranged private transfers to and from the airport which was quick, easy and comfortable! Elisabetta was a great host, communicating with her was easy and she responded really quickly. All the arrangements were flexible.
Elisabetta's 'Suite' is precisely as lovely as it looks on the photo's. The Suite is ideal for a couple, the room was clean and the bed very comfortable; the only room that is a little lacking is the bathroom. The ancient wooden ceiling is quite low in the bathroom and you barely can stand in the tub to take a shower. But it was fine for us!
The neighbourhood is nice and friendly, with good connections, lots of restaurants and lively atmosphere (but not so quiet at night) and is within easy reach of the major sites (15/30 minutes easy walk and with some research on bus routes, even quicker, though we definitely prefer walking/wandering).
"Ancient Trastevere" is an excellent and great place to stay in Rome - highly recommended! We were also very satified with our first experience with airbnb.
