My wife and I had spent 3 days recently in Rome, staying at the Blue Apartment in Trastevere. We found the apartment to be everything as advertised. The apartment was clean, neat, and inviting. Being located in a residential neighborhood it was an easy walk to the local shops and restaurants. On the other hand, it was a LONG walk or taxi ride to see the major tourist sites such as the coliseum, Roman Forum or Trevi Fountain, as well s a $48 Euro taxi ride to/from the airport.
Overall we were quite pleased with our choice and found Guiseppe to be cordial and very responsive to any of our inquiries. In the end we probably needed the excercise walking provided anyway. anyway.
