This is a fabulous place to stay in Rome! My husband and I knew we wanted our "home base" to be in Trastevere, and we were thrilled when we found Ludovica's place - it was a the perfect combination of location, price, good reviews and it looked adorable in the photos. Thankfully, our expectations were met and then some when we stayed there with our 3 year old daughter. Ludovica was out of town during our trip, so she arranged for a friend to meet us around the corner from the apartment to assist us with check in - he was very friendly and even helped us carry our bags up to the apartment. The apartment was very clean and had everything we would need during our stay. Ludovica even left us some espresso pods, milk, sparkling water and orange juice to enjoy! The beds were extremely comfortable and the outside terrace was so lovely. The location couldn't be better - very close to Piazza Trilussa and the bridge over to central Rome, and within walking distance to tons of trattorias, cafes and gelaterias!
A few things to note - the apartment is several flights of stairs up, so just something to note for anyone with issues with steps and/or a lot of luggage. Also, as we were traveling with a very young child, we were very hesitant to book this apartment due to numerous reviews mentioning excessive outside noise at night - Ludovica installed new windows to help with this problem recently. We still heard some noise late at night a few times, but it wasn't excessive and we came prepared with a noise machine and ear buds! There was also a fan in the bedroom which helped keep out the noise. We all managed to get a good night's sleep in spite of some of the late night revelers outside! I would not let this deter you from booking this great apartment. It really wasn't a major issue.
Ludovica is a great host and this is a wonderful apartment!
