Ilaria was a great host: arranging transportation, walking us through the apartment and checking up on us, providing information on things to eat, do and see and how to get there, etc.

Her apartment is also very nice: a charming old building with a comfy bed in a great location in Trastevere. It's a very short walk to lots of restaurants down one of the cobbled streets. Internet worked great, and the shower was OK.

One thing to keep in mind: it's on the first and second floor, doesn't really have any sound insulation to speak of, and there is some street noise from people at night - so if you're a light sleeper that could be an issue (we were OK). On the upside, that means you don't have a ton of stairs to walk up after walking around town all day.

Would we stay here again on a return trip to Rome? Definitely.
