My husband and I just got done staying at Sabrina’s flat for a month while in Rome and found the home clean, functional and with ample space for us to go about living for our time in the region.
First off, Sabrina is truly so incredibly kind — always willing to lend a helping hand (she printed last minute tickets for us and walked to drop off new towels so we didn’t have to find a way to dry ours!) She was a wonderful and gracious host.
The kitchen was equipped with most things you can imagine you need yourself needing for a longer stay and the living area provided a wonderful space for us to work and eat dinners. She even had air conditioning which got us through some heat waves!
The largest downside for us was realizing that while we were technically in the Trastevre area, the photos in the listing were actually a good 30/35 minute walk away (and we live in an area where we walk regularly). The apartment is actually much closer to activities / restaurants in Testacchio — which, if you’d stay, head to the Testacchio Market, yum! Alas, we had much planned in the more popular Trastevre area so this presented disappointment.
Another con was a neighbor in the building who would come out of her door if we were slow moving in the staircase and upon using the community rooftop for writing and having an apertivo immediately (within’ 2 minutes somehow despite us being quite quiet and 2 floors above her) explained that the chairs were hers and that the neighbors did not want us - or any Airbnb folks - in the building. This wasn’t a huge issue (just irksome) but I wouldn’t rent this spot intending for nights spent having a cocktail on the roof or lingering watching the city from above here.
Overall, Sabrina was great, we loved the nice folks at the bar downstairs (get the Spritz!) and enjoy the pasta all over the area.
