The Loft at Ancient Trastevere was definitely my and my husband's favorite sleeping arrangements we had for our whole two week tour of Europe. We only stayed in Rome for 2 nights this time, but we definitely know where we want to stay when we come back for a longer period someday! Elisabetta was wonderful. She set up a private cab to pick us up at the airport and welcomed us at the apartment to show us around. She was very helpful, printing out maps of the city with key points of interest, bus instructions, and restaurant recommendations. We loved the restaurants-all places that the Romans go, as she told us. We didn't feel as if we had walked into tourist-trap restaurants.

The location was perfect. Non-touristy and just west of the Tiber River, it was walking distance to most places.

The beautiful, open loft had everything we needed. It was plenty of space for us, and I'm sure it would have been plenty spacious still if we'd brought 2 other family members. It was cozy, romantic, and very functional. The bed was very comfortable. Elisabetta provided everything needed for coffee, juice, and toast, which is really all you need to eat for breakfast in Italy. I even left the American coffee pot on the shelf and tried out the stovetop espresso maker. (Loved it! I will be purchasing one for use in my own home.)

As this was my first airbnb experience, I appreciate that Elisabetta helped make it a wonderful experience. Thanks, Elisabetta!
