Carla made us feel very welcome from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. As previous reviewers have noted...homemade cake and a flat that is exactly as pictured! Beautifully clean and set up with full kitchen (including a brand new clothes washer!) and gorgeous bathroom. Comfortable bed with nice linen. Quite speedy internet. This is Rome - so it's noisy - but the windows were really great and kept 95% of the sound out. You will hear your neighbors in the morning going about their day - but this is a residential flat and it's why you wanted to do Airbnb, right? Speaking of - I can't say enough about Trastevere and where the flat is located. What a beautiful little neighborhood with everything you'd hoped Rome would be; winding alleys with cobblestones and busy, real Romans going about their day. Tens of cafes and restaurants within less than 5 minute walk. Perfect. Also - it's the perfect base to explore the sights of Rome. It's approximately 10 minutes or less to wander over the bridge to the Jewish Ghetto, the Forum, the Colesseo, etc. Pantheon is a bit further - but you won't regret the walk. The Vatican is a good hike away - but we enjoyed the Roman trains and often ended our days by hopping on the underground and getting off at Circo Maximo or Colesseo and then ambling home from there looking at all the beautiful monuments lit up at night; stopping for some gelato and then cozying up in Carla's flat at the end of the evening. If you want a view of the Colesseo or something like that, then you'll have to book elsewhere - but if you want an authentic, quiet lovely stay in Rome with everything on your doorstep, stay at Carla's place.
