This apartment was great! Very open, clean and spacious. Perfect lighting and incredible, HUGE patio! It's right next to the police station and there is also a guard (sometimes sleeping, haha) on duty at the apartment gate 24-7. We definitely felt safest here above any other stay in Italy.
Best shower out of all of the locations we stayed at in Italy and the building has an elevator! (HUGE bonus after lugging heavy suitcases up and down flights of stairs!) Excellent location in Trastevere. We enjoyed breakfast on several mornings right outside the apartment door at the Bar Osteria, (REALLY nice staff) and we even got to shop at the street market outside on Sunday morning!
Fabio checked us into our apartment. He was very thorough and even gave us a map with detailed directions on how to get everywhere. Being a local- he had lots of useful tips! Fabio called us a cab for our check out which was greatly appreciated since we did not have cell phone service. Would definitely recommend this stay in Rome!
*Future Renter Tips*
-apartment is about 30 minutes away from Fiumicino airport. It was 55euro.
-the address given dropped us off a few blocks from the actual apartment. For some reason it doesn't pick up on GPS. It's right next to Simply market, on the left side of the street, coming from the train station.
-apartment is about 10-15 minute taxi ride or 25-30 min bus ride to all of the main Rome attractions (Colosseum, Trevi, Steps, Vatican etc). In the evening, if you can splurge, order Uber Black. Taxi's are hard to come by.
-be specific on your check out time because the cleaners come immediately after! There was confusion with ours, and we had the cleaners enter our apartment twice when we were sleeping! Paolo was immediately informed and he apologized. We appreciated his concern!
-really cool bars just a 5 minute walk down the street, but they fill up quick because thats where all the locals go!
