It was fairly easy to get from the Roma Termini to Trastevere train station. (A side note for would-be travellers: at the touch-screen ticket machines, you need to type in Roma Trastevere. The search system is a bit archaic in that it doesn't show the station at all if you've simply typed in Trastevere - an inconvenience which confused us for a while at the Termini).

Upon reaching, Cristina was already downstairs by the main door to greet us. Note that there is a couple of little steps to navigate and 1 short flight up to the apartment. Not a problem for us.

As a host, Cristina was clear and helpful. She gave us essential directions about town, and even helped me print out a reservation voucher for the Vatican Museum.

The room was decent and no frills, as depicted on the pictures. We were just a little surprised that the bathroom smelled strongly of the sewers, so much that we must keep the door closed to keep the smell out from the bedroom. We also encountered three of roaches (small ones) in the bathroom over the course of our 3-night stay there. We informed Cristina and she looked into it on her daily cleaning of the room. We just weren't expecting this (and neither was Cristina) as most prior reviews had no mention of either the smell or the bugs, so perhaps it could be a seasonal thing, or perhaps there was a problem with the drainage only during the period of our stay. This was the main bugbear of our stay as I was afraid of roaches.

Otherwise, bed was fairly comfy, the air-conditioning worked fine. TV was a nice addition though, like us, you probably won't have time for it anyway. Rome has so much to see! Tram 8 takes you directly into the heart of it all, so it was conveniently located.
