Location, location, location! This small but comfortable space has it in spades. It sits in a quiet side street near Trastevere. We walked everywhere from there, the Vatican, the Forum, the Spanish steps... all within maximum half an hour walk. Trastevere right next door means dozens of bars and eateries. We particularly enjoyed the Osteria Bacco in Trastevere and the two places our host recommended.
The apartment itself is great for a couple. Comfortable living room with tv and wifi as one expects these days. A stylish mix of modern and antique furniture in a quirky first floor set-up with direct access from the street. Air-conditioning you’ll love in Rome’s summer heat. Small double bedroom with ample storage and a bathroom with a tub you may appreciate after long hours on your feet.
Andreas, the host, was very responsive ahead of our visit and very helpful in arranging airport pick up and drop off. And his colleague was at the door when we arrived and gave us a friendly and efficient check in. Anything that could still be improved? Well, this is a holiday apartment rather than one which the owner occasionally lets when he is away. Hence, despite a number of thoughtful touches, like books, it feels less personal than other airbnb we have been to. The fridge is empty. But the only thing we missed was a tea pot and perhaps a bottle of water or wine upon arrival.
