The check in and check out process was a little difficult. For checking in we were actually sent the wrong address. Ilaria herself is not there, and the lady who arranges the apartment was an hour late. So it was quite a stressful beginning. We were also told that we had to check out by 10, which was a bit too early but we were fine with it. The morning of check out the time then changed twice, fortunately to much later in the day, but we had to change our plans. Ilaria did call us to tell us about the changes which was good of her.

That said the apartment is really lovely. It doesn't get much day light as it's windows face on to a courtyard, but we were barely there during the day so that didn't matter. We had not one peep from the neighbours as has been mentioned on other reviews. It's clean and spacious, really well decorated and the bedrooms are nice and it's completely quiet at night. The welcome basket of fruit, milk and coffee was a lovely touch. The area of Trastevere is a brilliant and lively area to stay in, we were so glad we chose it over the more touristy hotels. I would stay here again, now that I know where it is! Much better than a hotel.
Thanks Ilaria for having us.
