A nice spacious apartment very close to the railway station at Trastevere, so this was handy for us as we wanted to get out of Rome quite a lot as we were there for a few weeks and the trains were really super - cheap and pretty quick. Served by two trams, No3 (goes to Colosseum and all the way up to the Villa Borghese Park and Zoo) and No8 goes to the Piazza Venezia in the centre. So, while it is quite a long way to walk to the main tourist centre of Rome you are well served by public transport. Testaccio is a lovely area around 20 minutes walk away where there is a superb fresh food market and nice places to have coffee and not at all touristy. The hosts were very communicative and are a lovely family who only want to do everything they can to ensure you have a nice stay. The apartment is well equipped and the bedrooms are a good size. One thing I should mention - probably not a problem for most people - but if you have young children, be aware that the apartment is on the second floor up two big flights of stairs. There is a working elevator but this is tiny and neither our pram and our baby carrier rucksack would fit in it so we did end up having to carry the pram with baby up and down two flights of stairs each time we came in and out of the apartment. The fact the apartment has a garden (which is why we chose it over others we liked) meant we assumed it was on the ground floor (also why we chose it over others with stairs). However, this was an incorrect assumption that we did not even think to ask about. The garden is nice however, it got sun around lunchtime when we were there in April/May so we did not get to use it much as we were out all day but it was great for quick drying of washing - also handy with two small children! Something else that is always important to me, so I will mention it: though you are doing communal living, the area is quiet at night. You do have a little background noise from the flats above but I am extremely noise-intolerant and it really did not bother me at all - so there are no issues if you like a quiet place at night. The heart of Trastevere is only around 25 minutes walk away but you can also get the trams or buses. This was one of the nicest areas to be in early evening in Rome and it definitely had the best ice-cream shop in all of Rome - Fatomorgana I think it was called. Amazing flavours - different each week. The hosts are attentive and were able to sort out any requests and answer questions for us. We would recommend this flat mostly for couples,...
