Great stay! I was in rome with my 6 year old daughter. Federico’s place is in a PRIME location. I’ve been to rome 4 times now and trastevere can’t be beat for proximity & the best restaurants in rome. They are all within walking distance.
The apartment itself was a good landing spot for us. We didn’t spend much time in it other than sleeping and a shower. Truth be told the mattress probably needs replacing. But we slept fine enough. It was clean and well appointed. The book federico included had history on the area as well as restaurant recommendations all over rome, emergency numbers, history on the area, and more. It was a great touch and we used it! Federico also has several guide books in the apartment that we referenced during our stay.
There are a lot of steps to get up to the apartment (even without luggage it’s a bit of a hike), but, most places are in rome.
The check in process was seamless. Federico is a great communicator and when sending check in instructions pictures and description of each step were included. This made it even easier to check in and know you were at all the right places. Federico was also there to help before and during the stay with anything that we needed. Check out is a piece of cake!
A tip: if you get something to eat at one of the restaurants right by the apartment and connect to their wifi, you’ll have it for the rest of your stay saved in your phone. I used this to call and book taxis as well as reload my Google map before embarking on walks places ( Because I don’t have cell service on my phone in Europe). Uber also works in rome so I was able to stand right outside the apartment and order Ubers as well as reserving my Uber ahead of time for pick up to the airport.
All in all a good stay. The location is perfect.
