The location of Emanuela's place is perfect. As advertised, it's right in the heart of Trastevere, but somehow the apartment and its adjacent courtyard are quiet and tranquil.

Emanuela sent us detailed and extensive information about Rome, transportation and the apartment before our arrival. Her property manager, Mauro, hung around the apartment for a few hours - because my boyfriend and I flew in on different flights and had staggered arrivals. He was really helpful and lovely.

The apartment looks as advertised - it's small, but clean and equipped with everything you could need (clean towels, hairdryer, mini-fridge, guidebooks, ect). Emanuela even left us a little laptop to take to the cafe around the corner if we needed to get online (as advertised - this apartment gets absolutely no internet connection).

Only concerns; the bed is pretty small for 2 people - I think it's slightly smaller than the standard Western double. There also isn't any kind of shower curtain around the bathtub - which can make for a wet bathroom floor for those not accustomed to using a handheld shower head.

Other than those two small things, this is a great place for a couple looking to have a safe and clean place to stay in the best neighbourhood in Rome!
