Julie and I communicated over whatsapp and she was able to help me navigate public transportation from the airport to her apt in Trastevere. I was greeted by Alessandro by the Tiber River and he gave me a tour of the apartment and helpful tips for the area. The apartment is exactly as pictured and is quite clean, and beautiful. It's on a very quiet street seconds away from John Cabot University where I was working for the week. You can get to St. Peter's in about 15 minutes, the Jewish Ghetto in about ten, and you're in the heart of Trastevere in less than five. The only air-conditioning is in the bedroom which is tucked in the back of the apt. This was challenging given how hot Rome was. Julie and Alessandro were prompt in responding to my questions but respected my privacy as well. I stayed near St. Peter's last time I was in Rome and preferred that location a bit more because aside from the lovely quiet block I was on the heart of the neighborhood is saturated with tourists. That said, my stay in Julie and Alessandro's apartment was good. It really is a walkable distance from everything and public transportation is easily accessible.
