This was my 3rd time staying at Giacinto's cottage and I've loved it every time. A true home away from home in Rome!
Location - Monteverde is my favorite area in Rome. A true local neighborhood on a hill that has beautiful homes and local cafes. Close to Gianicolo with amazing views, and directly behind the Trastevere. A 5 minute walk to the 75 bus which will take you around the city.
Cottage - Amazing! You have a large private walled terrace and two private balconies -- perfect for picnics and reading. The wifi is very strong. The living room is very cozy and the bedrooms are on different levels, which is perfect for a family or friends. A couple of small things to note -- the beds are very firm and the bathroom is a tub with a handheld shower head.
Host - Giacinto is a great host who answers all questions. He greets you for check-in and gives you a personal tour with all the information you need.
If you're looking to live like a local, this is the place for you.
