Lauro, or perhaps I believe it was his father, greeted us at the front door. Extremely friendly - walked us through the apartment and made sure that we understood how to work the locks, stove, etc. Apartment matches the pictures, no surprises here. Location wise we knew that Trastevere was a desirable location, but this apartment is in the absolutely heart of it all. I don't think you could make better placement if you tried. Several bars and restaurants right at the door step!

However - a few downsides: we booked the apartment mostly because of location and price, but having two full bathrooms was another selling point. Unfortunately one of the two showers was not working (no water), and the refrigerator also did not work.

Overall, definitely a GREAT place. I really wish I could give 5 stars, but the shower and fridge held me back.
