Our host Giuliano was charming, very helpful and patient (our flight was delayed).

The apartment was everything we had hoped for. From the wonderful big front doors to the apartment building, the quaint but reliable lift, the nicely furnished room and beautiful terrace over looking Rome it was just fantastic.

Sitting in bed at night gazing out the "french" doors across the terrace to the illuminated basilica of St Peter was spectacular.

Eating breakfast, lunch or dinner on the terrace with the roses, geraniums, herbs, lemon and olive trees in terracotta pots.

Trastevere is alive with trattoria, osteria and pizza places; Mini markets for provisions and delicious food; historic churches and convents. Within easy walking distance to the Tiberia Isola (little island in the Tiber) and most other places of interest.

There is a tram line and taxi stand a short walk away.

Wifi was available. But who wants to sit on a computer when you can be out exploring Trastevere and greater Rome.

A really good experience.
