We really enjoyed our stay in Trastevere. From before check in, Cristina was very communicative to ensure a smooth check-in process. On day of check-in we did get a little lost because the taxi dropped us off at square. We roamed around trying to find building, which was kind of hard because the entrance is actually between two restaurants. Cristina's son found us and saved the day! Once in, we received so much information to make the most of our stay. We were even greeted with cake and wine. Of course, trying out the restaurants were the best part for us. The apt was very cleaned and well- kept. We did not really get to enjoy the balcony (which was one of the main reasons for choosing this place) because the neighbors were usually hanging laundry. The exposed bricks and original pipes were a beautiful finishing touch. The only thing I wish we had, were instructions for dumping the trash. We weren't sure if we were allowed to use the restaurant's bins or not or the hours of pick up. We do apologize if we missed those instructions. Otherwise, this was a great stay and we greatly appreciate the opportunity to be hosted by Cristina and family. My tips for future travelers include using taxi provided by host or request very specific directions; if traveling to central Rome for excursions, plan best method of travel in advance-taxis were very hard to access Sun morning; this is the one time I would not recommend food delivery services- restaurants are open late enough, and the place is too hard to find; when using taxi services for travel around, go to the square-you will have better chance of seeing which direction they are coming from.
