Roberto and Giovanna are outstanding hosts—and as beautiful as their place looks in the photos, it is even better in person.
I stayed with them for five days while traveling with a college friend arriving from elsewhere in Europe and from start to finish, Roberto and Giovanna were incredible. They cheerfully accommodated our two different check-ins and had added so many extra, thoughtful touches—coffee and tea, biscuits, panettone, prosecco—just to make us feel welcome. When my friend became ill with food poisoning, Giovanna went above and beyond out of concern to make her feel at home. They are just sincerely the warmest and kindest people!
As for room/location—I couldn't recommend it highly enough. There was a beautiful view of the city, a book full of recommendations, and the room (with a lovely deck) was both cozy and sparkling clean. Trastevere, the neighborhood, is actually incredible. There are so many good restaurants, cafes, and shops within an easy walking distance, and the train station is located further down the hill. We actually walked everywhere in Rome (it would take about 30-45 minutes to walk to the sights on other side of the Tiber) because we had the time, but knowing public transit was just a few blocks away was really nice. I would recommend Roberto and Giovanna's place to anyone and wish them the very best.
