The Bookshelf is a spacious and comfortable apartment, centrally located just of Viale Trastevere/the Tiber and is close to all the busses, trams, and easy walking to so many restaurants. It felt like a very safe area even though we were advised to close the shutters at night. (I think most Romans do this). The apartment felt like 'home' and was very clean and comfortable. The bedroom is nicely put together, the bed is very comfortable with super cozy bedding. The pull-out couch is the most comfortable I've ever slept on, and the curtains separating this area from the dining room makes a perfect 2nd bedroom. The bathrooms and kitchen were very clean and had everything we needed. We REALLY appreciated the bottle of water and wine found in the fridge upon arriving! There is a new Cabaret (honoring Lando Fiorini: www.ilpuff.it) just below the apartment so I would suggest going to the shows, staying out late (the Romans don't eat dinner until 8pm or later anyway), or enjoying some of the hosts CD's. Francesca & Lorenzo were great hosts and we appreciated the restaurant suggestions too. Thanks so much for your hospitality!
