Luigi was a good host - he provided detailed information after confirming the reservation, and even arranged for separate taxi transfers to the apartment for us and for my wife's parents (who stayed in the apartment with us in Rome). Check in was actually managed with Sandra, who I think actually owns or manages, the apartment, but I'm not entirely sure. There was a little bit of a mix-up at check-in, since our groups arrived separately at different times, but it was all fine in the end. Sandra helped arrange for taxis for us to get back to the airport on our respective departure dates as well.

The apartment was excellent. Huge (especially by Roman/Italian standards), clean, very modern, and fully equipped with all the amenities. It has 3 large bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, good size kitchen and a very large living/dining area. The multi-floor layout also worked well for our group. My only quibble was that the Wi-Fi was very spotty - especially with the thick walls in the apartment.

Location wise, it is truly in the heart of Trastavere, which we discovered is absolutely the best neighborhood in Rome to stay in. Bars, restaurants, cafes, shops are all over the place (including a great restaurant on the main floor of the building), and the streets were just teeming with activity all the time. That said, the owners wisely installed 2 sets of double paned windows through the apartment, meaning that despite the activity just outside, the apartment is surprisingly quiet.

It's also well-situated for getting to both the Vatican, as well as the Pantheon, Coliseum and other attractions on the other side of the river. I would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone looking to stay in Rome. .
