Our host was very quick to respond, although we only met his representative Mr.Vinod. Trastevere is a great area with an amazing restaurant scene, but on the surface it can look sketchy. This apartment is no different ... the hallway to the apartment door is old, dirty and very ghetto. The apartment is as per the pictures, but our floors were very dirty whereby our feet turned black right away if you walked around with bare feet. I went to find the mop, but it was also old and very dirty. Beds were clean...all else were as per the photos. The streets are lively, but the noise feels like there are no windows or they are open and the noise doesn't stop so sleeping is difficult. If you are travelling with young children the floor will be an issue and so will the feeling that it is not a safe apartment since the door to the building does not lock properly.
