We were really happy with this apartment. Overall the location, the apartment itself and Paola’s hospitality were very good and we’d happily recommend the place.
Location: this is a really good location as you are walking distance to most main sights but slightly away from the crowded city centre. The apartment is right on the riverside, only 5-10 mins walk from The Vatican; less than 5 mins from Castel Sant’Angelo; 10-15mins to Trastevere (I think it would be a good alternative to staying in Trastevere itself if you want to go out there, as it would be very noisy there at night!); and 20mins to Piazza Navona. We walked most places and also caught a bus to the Colosseum (but later realised a good waking route would have been via Trastevere and crossing the river further down).
The apartment: the apartment is clean, comfortable (some furniture a bit wobbly) and has good facilities including a washing machine clothes dryer, hair dryer, plenty of crockery/ cooking equipment, stove top coffee pot, sofa bed.
The windows really keep the noise out so with windows closed it is quiet. The bedroom is really dark for a good night’s sleep! We didn’t use air conditioning, but heating and hot water worked well.
Paola met us at the apartment, we were delayed and she waited for us. She gave us good tips and two sets of keys, and organised a taxi for us. She always replied promptly to Airbnb messages.
We shared our room with our 4 year old son and the children’s bed Paola set up was perfect for him. The living room had lots of space for him to play also.
Overall a good apartment 👍🏻
