The apartment was a good size, clean, tastefully decorated and well equipped with kitchen utensils and crockery, washing machine, iron, even a clothes rack to dry clothes on. Thankfully there was air conditioning in the two bedrooms which was essential as the temperature was in the 30s every day and very humid. Location wise the apartment has pros and cons. If you’re looking for something very central, this is not the place for you. However,
we actually enjoyed being in a residential area as we felt we weren’t being ripped off in terms of shopping and food as we would have been in the more touristy areas. The apartment is just 3 Mins walk from the Trastevere station which links easily to the airport and is also a short ride to the Vatican. Central Rome is reached by the number 8 tram ( again literally round the corner) which is 15 mins to Piazza Venezia. On the weekend the tram wasn’t running but there was a replacement bus so central Rome was still accessible. The apartment is surrounded by local shops and cafes but also close by to the Trastevere town ( a 25 min walk or a short tram / bus ride) where there are many very good and reasonable restaurants.
Again, we felt we got better value for money plus better quality food than in the more touristy areas. Patriza was also a very helpful host and promptly attended to any matters or questions we had. I would definitely recommend her apartment to friends and family travelling to Rome.
