My girlfriend and I recently returned from our first trip to Rome and Jane's apartment was the perfect
place to stay.
We were met by Mr Lapera, who kindly showed us the apartment and gave us tips on the area.
The apartment was exactly as described, lovely and cozy, with beautiful views over the rooftops of the houses and churches in Trastevere. There were fresh towels, tea and coffee in the kitchen and maps of the tourist attractions, which we found very useful. The best perk for us, as mentioned by other guests, was the portable modem, which was a great little gadget and we loved having wi-fi everywhere. Jane responded promptly to any e-mails or questions we had prior to our trip and provided useful tips on how to get to and from the airport.

The apartment was in the perfect location for us - right in the heart of Trastevere. There were restaurants and bars on the doorstep and the area was heaving with people, who have come to dine or have a drink, creating a great atmosphere. Despite being busy at night, we found it really quiet in the apartment and we didn't have any issues with noise coming from outside. The area is not far from the main tourist sights and they were all within walking distance. In addition to the top sights, we walked up the hill to the Garibaldi monument in Trastevere, which is slightly off the beaten track, and we were stunned by the fantastic views of Rome and the Vatican.

We had a fantastic time and for us staying in Trastevere made it extra special. We would definitely be returning to Rome.
