If you want to enjoy a panoramic view of Rome, stay in Enrico's place. It is situated in Gianicolo just up the steps from "downtown" Trastevere, almost across the street from Passeggiata del Gianicolo, a block from Villa Sciarra, and 1 kilometer from Villa Doria Pamphili, one of the largest parks in Rome.
And speaking of large, the photos of Enrico's apartment do not do it justice. The rooms are roomier than they appear on the Airbnb website, and the kitchen has everything you need for homemade meals. I was in Rome during Thanksgiving, and my daughter and I cooked up a perfect dinner.
Enrico also makes sure that you begin your stay with bottled water, wine, pasta and sauce, garlic salt, olive oil, salt, pepper, sugar and coffee. No need to rush off to the grocery store; although, if you do need to shop, a Conad is not far away (Viale di Trastevere) and Todis is a 6 minute walk, near Piazza di San Cosimato.
Since my stay at Enrico's went smoothly, I never had to contact him; but all communication beforehand was easy and prompt. When I asked for an early checkin, on the condition that the apartment was empty, Enrico graciously adjusted his schedule and met me at the apartment in the mid-morning.
And what a morning it was--blue skies above, Trastevere at our feet, Aventino across the Tevere, the vast Eternal City everywhere, and the Apennine Mountains in the distance. From his comfortable fourth floor apartment, Enrico pointed out the treasures awaiting my further exploration.
