Stunning apartment in prime location! Expect a really busy street at night, right outside the front door. You really are band in the middle of everything, as far as Trastevere is concerned. The windows are sound proof so it’s still very quiet inside - we were so impressed!
The kitchen has all you need., and there’s comfortable seating in the living area. The high old ceilings are beautiful, and the loft has enough height for everyone to walk around comfortably. The beds are good and wide. Softer pillows would be nice, as well as two duvets/blankets so non-couples don’t have to share :)
The bedroom was cool and comfortable. I wouldn’t recommend the loft for children or people with disabilities as the stair is pretty narrow and the railing upstairs has big gaps so kids could easily fall through. But for us it was perfect! We were 4 adults sharing, so two slept on the loft and two in the bedroom. The bathroom was perfectly ok, even if the shower was a bit old. (Loved the terracotta tile border on the wall, very pretty.)
There is a little simple terrace reached from the bedroom, we had no real use for it, but if we were smokers I think we would have used it.
The AC was broken and it was 30-34 degrees in Rome during our visit so it would have been uncomfortable, but Antonia bought two fans for us so it was ok anyway.
Antonia very kindly let us have a late check in, and everything went smooth. On the last day the cleaner turned up 30 minutes before check out but it didn’t bother us as we were ready to go.
By the way: the pizza downstairs was BY FAR the best pizza we had in all of Rome (not a pretty place but well worth it anyway!!), and we also had an amazing meal at the gorgeous restaurant called Taverna Trastevere. It came recommended by a local, it was really delicious with great service. They are often fully booked so try to book in advance, but we went there early (7.30pm) and got a table inside.
We absolutely loved Rome despite the heat and crowds, and would love to stay in Antonia’s apartment again, and will recommend the place to our friends!
