Wow is all I can say! And the only reason why my ratings are a 5 is because it doesn't allow for 10+! From the time I inquired and emailed Manuel about the reservation (it was 10:30 PM in the US and 4:30 AM in Rome), he was extremely responsive and attentive; he emailed me back within 10 minutes!! We exchanged messages and then spoke by phone. The reservation was for my daughter and two classmates who are studying in Rome for the Spring semester and needed to stay one night due to not being able to check-in to school until the next day. Manuel was "molto gentile" during every conversation I had with him and no matter what time. He even made arrangements for my daughter and her classmates to be picked up from the airport (a very and surprisingly reasonable 50 euros for three adults and 12 pieces of luggage). Manuel also took care of things after I had to inform him of their late arrival due to mechanical issues with the plane before they left the US. According to my daughter, the apartment was very clean and cozy and near so much (restaurants, bars, cafes, etc). My only regret is that I was not able to stay there! It is certainly without hesitation and with complete and great pleasure that I recommend Manuel as a host and his apartment if you are spending time in the Trastevere area of Rome. Manuel, grazie mille per tutto!!
