This apartment is outstanding in every way - here are a few highlights:
- The location is awesome, right beside the Ponte Sisto, close to both the historic sites of central Rome and to characterful Trastevere with stunning views front and back.
- The lift is a life-saver after a trip to the Coop (just around the corner) or at the end of a long day's sight-seeing.
- Everything is provided for self-catering Brits - not all Italian hosts provide a kettle!
- The bathrooms are very clean and convenient: the shower-problem mentioned by other guests can be solved by running the hot tap in the kitchen while you shower, this maintains pressure in the water heater.
- If you find the street outside noisy at night, you can deal with it by running the fans or the air-conditioning as they provide effective and soothing "white noise".
- If you visit in the autumn, and like to keep windows open, as we do, you will need insect repellent and anti-histamine cream: the apartment's proximity to water front and back means the midges are ubiquitous.
- We did not need to contact Federico or Amanda during our stay, but their immediate responses at the beginning and end of our holiday give us confidence that any problems would have been dealt with swiftly.
