Rome is amazing and the neighbourhood of Trastevere is one-of-a-kind with its many restaurants and quaint winding streets. Beatrice is a great host; great suggestions to eat, where to visit and what historical sites are close by, all with a personal greeting and lots of communication.
This apartment has the potential to be amazing. Unfortunately, there was scaffolding and netting up on our side of the entire building, so we were unable to open the windows for daylight. This should have been told to us.
The space is big, but sparsely furnished so a few added pieces would go a long way. A dresser in the bedroom and even in the 2nd room, if someone is staying. Living out of a suitcase for a week is not ideal.
The essential supplies listed on the site were not there. We bought laundry detergent, dish soap and shampoo and left them there. If it's listed, it should be available in plentiful quantities.
The shower stall was very dirty and needed to be scrubbed by us before we used it. The shower has been broken and patched together with a curtain, so that could be addressed. There was also a sewer smell that needs to be looked at, it seems to be in the kitchen.
While I think if these issues could be addressed, I think it could be a great place to stay for more than a few days, like we did. We wish Beatrice all the success possible.
