La Signora Carla is a woman from Milan who has lived in Rome for many years. The Briciola apartment is accurately described, and she herself is both personable and helpful with any questions. She has maps and info for guests, and the apartment has abundant hot water and a small kitchen. As it is a low apartment, there is not a lot of external light, but plenty of artificial light.

The location is great if you like to walk, or wish to explore Trastevere. Many cafes, restaurants, even a laundry within a few steps. We learned how to get to other parts of Rome via tram and bus - no metro stop nearby.

The apartment used to be an office - so it might benefit from a few more hooks and shelves especially in the shower. Most nights the neighborhood is silent, but one night - Saturday - a group of young people brought out a speaker and blasted hip hop until after midnight - one heard every note.

Apart from that, our experience with la Briciola was positive and enjoyable. One more good thing: As we were heading to the train station, no bus came and our time was running short. By Plaza Sonnino there are always taxis - this saved us from missing our train.
