We stopped at Federicos Attic apartment for 4 nights at the end of October, start of November. From start to finish we have been blown away by how good Federicos communication and that of his friend who greeted us have been. They really started the experience off on the perfect foot.
The apartment is right in the middle of Trastavere, close to lots of great bars and restaurants. We enjoyed wondering the windy cobbled streets each evening looking for a restaurant.
Travelling our in the day, it is a 30-40minute walk from the big attractions (colluseum, vatican, trevi fountain etc) but the walk is part of the fun of being in Rome.
The apartment is clean, the bed is large and comfy and the shower is good. The kitchen looks to have everything you need, but outside of the wine glasses, we didnt use anything! I mean youre in Rome, why would you cook!
The highlight of the attic and why you MUST book this attic is the rooftop. To soak up the atmosphere of Trastevere for either breakfast, afternoon beers or evening glass of wine (or 2) is amazing. Once youve navigated the quite tight spiral staircase, you can sit for hours (or until the wine has ran out) on the rooftop soaking it all in.
we wil be back, thank you!
It is worth noting that there are some steep steps up to the apartment, and the spiral staircase is very tight at the top. If you have any mobility issues or struggle with stairs, then this apartment is probably not for you. For everyone else, dont add it to your favourites and miss out...just BOOK it!
