My wife and I had a wonderful experience seeing the sights of Rome and feeling like we were locals because of staying a this huge and perfectly located apartment in the hipTrastevere neighborhood. We were truly in the right spot. The apartment is nestled in a peaceful street where during the day it's quiet but once 4pm rolls around the neighborhood becomes alive with restaurants and vendors. The food options that surrounded us were amazing. Moreover, the Vatican was a nice 20 minute walk away, and the Collesium was about a 30 minute walk. Walking was fun ad entertaining in this town.
Maria Carla was a superb host. Prior to our arrival she gave us easy directions to get to the apartment and she also had plenty of information for us to see Rome and how to get around. The apartment was very clean, safe, and very comfy. The bed was very comfy too. There's some noise at night from the outside activity, but it wasn't blaring and we had no problems sleeping.
Simply, when I go back to Rome I'm planning to stay here again. The host, the apartment, and the neighborhood are perfect - that's the truth. You will not regret staying here!
