The apartment was located in the area of Trastevere just the other side of the Garibaldi bridge. The directions for the apartment were relatively clear and we found it quite easily. Located on the first floor of an old building there was a lift, that helped with luggage.

Giulio was on hand to greet us, and always responded well to any queries before we arrived.

The flat is compact, and the bed is positioned on a small mezzanine floor, the stairs to the bed area were quite steep, so a little care was required to navigate them. July in Rome is hot, and whilst the flat benefited from air conditioning, the bed area being high in the flat did get very warm, despite having the air-conditioning on.

The kitchen was well equipped and the welcome breakfast pack, a very thoughtful touch and made us feel at home, a great idea.

The bathroom, and especially the shower was large with great water pressure. All the toiletries and towels were on hand for us.

Giulio provided a large amount of books and guides to allow for planning of the main sites for Rome, but the massive benefit is the location, where everything can be reached amazingly well on foot, an added benefit. Locally there were numerous restaurants and bars to take advantage of.
