Carmine's apartment was fantastic. It was spacious and charming, located near the downtown area of trastevere, close to restaurants and shopping, and walking distance to the Vatican, Forum and the Colosseum. I was met at the door with the keys and easy instructions for my stay, there was even a small gift on arrival. I would recommend Carmines place to anyone doing a short or long stay in Rome. I would stay here again when I return to Trastevere.
