Location is described as a “quiet corner of Trastevere.”. This is correct. It’s a lovely corner, about 1/2 mile walk from any services.
The apartment was lovely, clean and comfortable. One enters immediately into the bedroom. Up a few. stairs is the kitchen, an awkwardly placed couch/day bed, and bathroom. The unit contains a washing machine.
The apartment is located 1 flight up from the ground floor; there is no elevator (not a problem for us; sharing for informational purposes only). The space could be described as a nanny’s suite as it is entered through the same entrance as the host’s family. Upon entering the unit, the airbnb suite has a separate and secure entrance to the left while the family’s entrance is to the right. The pitter-patter of little feet was audible within the guest suite.
That’s the positive part of my review. The other part is: we walked away from our reservation. The host did not meet us and her spouse “did not hear our trolley” (?) and, thus, did not let us in. The doorbell is not marked so that one could call the host’s unit and there was no outside light. We stood in the rain for over an hour. When we “gave up” and were headed to a less quiet section of Trastevere, the host’s husband telephoned me, told me I was “inconveniencing” him and asked “how long [was I] going to keep him waiting?” As we checked in, he offered to release our reservation and refund our payment (less airbnb fees, cleaning fees, and city of Rome taxes). Upon reflection, we decided it was inappropriate to stay after having been spoken to in that manner.
