We spent a wonderful five days at Andrea’s apartment! It is very well situated, within the hip Trastevere area with lots of bars and restaurants, yet only a short walk away from the historical centre if you use the pedestrian bridge a mere minute’s walk away.
Communication with Andrea and Arnel was always very quick. Arnel’s wife welcomed us very warmly as we arrived from the airport. We found it to be easy to get to the apartment by train (to Trastevere station) followed by a short tram ride (line 8). The apartment is modestly yet comfortably furnished, more than spacious enough for two, and had all of the amenities we needed - including fresh coffee, which we enjoyed every morning on the fabulous patio. For us, this was undoubtedly the highlight of the place - it offers a nice view over part of the neighbourhood and is ideal to enjoy breakfast or a glass of wine in the late afternoon, high up from the hustle and bustle of Travestere. Because the apartment is on the top floor, we didn’t get any noise from the street at night and the airco and comfortable bed allowed for a great night’s rest.
We very much appreciated Andrea’s and Arnel’s efforts to accommodate our checkin and checkout times and luggage situation, which was a kind gesture. We’ll happily recommend the place to our friends and relatives, and hope to be back one day!
