I really enjoyed my stay in Claudia's place. Claudia is very kind and sweet and warmly welcomed me even though I was quite early considering her usual check in time of 3pm. She and I chatted for quite a bit when I arrived and she was kind enough to share her favorite neighborhood spots with me (Le Levain is a must for breakfast or a light pastry snack). Unfortunately I did not see her much after my arrival as I was in Rome to mostly work, but she was very responsive on WhatsApp. She teaches yoga classes in the apartment and was even kind enough to invite me to join one!

The apartment is large, with a nice big kitchen and bathroom. There are three rooms total - one being used as a yoga studio, one offered through the airbnb, and one that had a short-term renter when I visited. He and I did not run into each other much while I was there but he seemed very nice the few times we saw each other and chatted.

The room that I stayed in was very spacious, airy and light. It is on the corner so gets a little bit of street noise from both sides, but I did not mind at all bc I am not a light sleeper and generally prefer to stay in lively neighborhoods. The decor is very minimalist, which I enjoyed. However, if you have any articles of clothing that need hanging, beware that there is no closet or armoire, only shelves. The bed was comfy and I really liked Claudia's light towels, hand made locally. The only thing that I was a bit surprised by was that there was no key to lock the room, but it was not a big deal for me.

The location of the apartment is superb. A little bit off to the side from the main touristy spots in Trastevere, but only a minute away from excellent restaurants, cafes, and bars. All of the tourist attractions in Trastevere are within walking distance and so are many of Rome's main sites. If you don't mind walking, you can easily explore Rome on foot from this location. Alternatively, Rome has a very good bus network and several of the major lines leading to many important spots (Piazza Navona, Colosseo, Torre Argentina, etc.) stop nearby, also easily connecting to the metro. The Trastevere train station is only a few tram stops away, making the transport to/from Fiumicino airport very easy (10 mins max on tram then about 25 mins on local train) and cheap (EUR 1.50 for tram ticket, EUR 8 for train ticket), eliminating the need to drag yourself all the way to Termini to take the Leonardo express (Termini is about 30 mins away by bus/metro).

Overall, I had a wonderful time at Claudia's and loved staying in the neighborhood.
