Maria Carla's apartment was perfect for our 4 day stay in Rome. It is on a bustling street in Trastevere with many restaurants, cafes, and bars. If you like walking, it's in an excellent location - we walked to or from the Vatican, Campo Fiori, the Spanish Steps, Colosseum, even home from the Borghese. And, if you want a taxi, there is a stand close by in Piazza Trilussa. The apartment was very clean and a good size for my husband, son and me. Maria Carla met us on arrival and provided a very thorough overview of the place and suggestions for eating and shopping. Know that the evenings can be quite loud with all the joyful chatter of the people on the street, but the windows close tightly to almost totally eliminate the noise. Highly recommend!
