Luca set the standard for Airbnb hosts. This guy was awesome. He was so responsive and helpful. Even got groceries for us the first night because we arrived so late. His place was as described and his internet is lightning fast. Fast enough for us to watch Netflix. I would say this place is perfect for a couple of a family with a small child. And it is in a really wonderful neighborhood. Trastevere reminds me of New Orleans but with less puking and bodily fluids. And honestly, the noise is not that bad. We slept well while there so unless you sleep really lightly you should be fine.
Things to note:
1. Just have Luca arrange your transportation from the airport. If you are from America, your heart will seize when you see how narrow the streets of Travestere are. Most cabbies will lie to you and not drive
in the neighborhood. Luca's driver is the same price and actually cheaper than a cab and the driver will deliver you right to door. Go on your own and you might pay more and get dropped off in the wrong place. It's just easier and better to use Luca's service. He doesn't profit from it but it makes both of your lives easier.
2. Air condition expectations. Look we
came to Rome in the dead heat of summer. Most Romans do not have air conditioner and if you are used to cold houses in the summer, this is not going to be that. It's cool but if you are a person that runs hot you might need be a bit uncomfortable in July and August. My husband is perpetually hot but he slept with the air on and in his skivvies. It was fine, especially after he adjusted. I was fine the entire time.
For this price, this place is a steal. You won't find a better place. Clean, well stocked and close to all attractions. Seriously we walked to everything.
Just rent it already. I know I will again when I come to Rome.
