This little apartment in the vibrant Trastevere district was fantastic for our stay in Rome. The apartment itself is small, but perfect as a crash-pad during our short stay, with a well-equipped bathroom, small but useful (and well laid-out) kitchenette, with all the utensils we needed and a fantastic balcony with a view over the city below (the building is quite elevated and the apartment is at the top floor). Everything was very clean and tidy on our arrival.

The building is positioned within a complex of apartments, forming a series of neat little courtyards. The neighbours seemed very nice and the common areas are very clean and well maintained, as is the garden. There are lots of steps in either direction, either north toward Gianicolo park or south toward Trastevere, which may be a problem for some.

There are regular buses from Trastevere, taking around 20 minutes to the historic centre. The central attractions (Vatican, Coliseum, Pantheon etc) are also easily walkable if you have the appetite for it (45 minutes to an hour). Gianicolo Park provides a good walk to the Vatican.

Overall, if you are looking for somewhere quirky, compact and in a good location, I would not hesitate to recommend Denis’s apartment.
