Giuliano offered to pick us up from Trastevere railway station which made the start of our holiday very simple. The apartment was extremely clean and equipped with all the basics including for the kitchen. It has efficient air conditioning which we needed overnight when the terrace door was closed. The thing that 'makes' this accommodation is the lovely roof terrace which has fantastic views over the rooftops of Rome. Giuliano has made it very pretty with lots of plants in pots which even have their own watering system, so nothing for the guest to do! It has a table and chairs and we had breakfast there every morning and evening drinks watching the sunset most nights. We found Trastevere to be the perfect place to stay - near enough to be able to walk to all of the main sights (average 20-30 mins away, but if you don't want to walk a lot, Rome is probably not the place for you!), but much quieter than the other side of the river. It is a very pretty area with lovely old buildings and a fantastic atmosphere, especially in the evenings and we enjoyed coming home to it, away from the hustle and bustle of most other places. There are lots of restaurants within 5 minutes walk.

We had a problem connecting to the wifi on the first day and the connection dropped out once during our 6 days there, but Giuliano had warned us that this might happen and he sorted things out immediately both times, so it wasn't a problem. The wifi connection is very good and we were able to listen to UK radio easily. (On that note, if you are English speaking, it is worth noting that there aren't any English speaking channels on the TV in the apartment. Of course, there is no obligation for Giuliano to provide this, but we were pleased we had brought a mini speaker with us to be able to listen to UK radio via the wifi on our phones).

Overall we would definitely recommend this apartment for a stay in Rome.
