Perfect location and very good value. Carla is a fantastic host, she gave us gifts several times during our stay and was always easy to communicate with. If you want to live in central Rome there are not many places that will be better.
For long-term visitors there are a few things you should be aware of (we stayed for about 4 months):
- Carla has a helper that comes to clean the apartment once a week, for about €20 extra weekly charge. Her cleaning is very good and it is a luxury to not have to do this yourself (she always changes bedsheets for you etc), but you need to leave the flat during these few hours each week. For us it was 12-2 every Saturday.
- She will also need to use your washing machine for washing things that belong to other flats, so you will have a lot more washing in the flat than just your own. We solved this by simply leaving the finished washing on a chair for when the cleaning lady came back to pick it up.
- If you are planning to use more than one bed, be aware that the sofa bed is right next to the entrance, so the person/people using this will not have a lot of privacy
- There are only a few windows in the flat, so not much natural lighting gets inside. Of course, there are plenty of lamps and overhead lights inside the flat (and it makes a good excuse to go out often!).
If you are fine with these things, then you will have a fantastic experience in this AirBnB. As I said, the location is one of the best you can get in Rome, right in a beautiful little street in Trastevere, close to the river and the Tiber island. The space is big and you get a lot for the price that you pay, especially if you stay long term. Personally we had a great time in this flat and would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Rome!
