We spent 5 nights in this beautiful apartment in an amazing area of Rome.
Trastevere is bustling with local people going about their business and has a feel of ‘real Italy’
Our flight was delayed so we didn’t arrive until after midnight and our taxi driver dropped us off at the wrong location. It transpired that he didn’t want to go around the one way system!
Antonio, a very patient and helpful owner, spoke with us on the telephone and came out in the rain on foot to find us and bring us to the apartment.
The apartment is on the first floor with windows opening over a lovely cobbled narrow street. Each morning we would lean out and watch the world go by.
We found everything we needed in the kitchen, although we only used it to make breakfast. There is a cooker with grill, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. All cleaning products etc provided.
The main bedroom is situated at the rear of the apartment with a walk in wardrobe containing more towels and sheets should you require them and there is a little terrace off with table and chairs.
We found the bed lovely and comfortable.
Our teenage boys slept on a double bed on the mezzanine floor and were very happy up there.
The shower was powerful and hot water was plentiful.
There were toiletries available for use, but we had taken our own.
WiFi was available throughout the apartment.
Furnishing was extremely comfortable and the entire decor of the apartment made for a relaxing environment.
Although the street outside was busy, particularly on Friday and Saturday evening, once the windows were closed the apartment was silent.
The river Tiber is only a 2 minute walk from the apartment where there is a foot bridge leading to the main centre and more shops. There is a co op situated approx 80m along thtime street, directly opposite the foot bridge.
We walked to Vatican City, Colosseum, Trevi Fountain and all the main attractions. All are 25-30 walking distance from the apartment. We used no public transport during our stay apart from airport transfers.
Expect to pay €48-€50 for a taxi from the airport.
Antonio made contact during our stay to check everything was fine for us. This would definitely be our first choice of accommodation if we are lucky enough to return to Rome in the future.
