We had a fantastic time at Denis' apartment. His friend picked us up at the airport and we met his neighbor at the apartment which went incredibly smoothly. The apartment was just right for the two of us and the balcony was an absolute treat. It offer beautiful views across Rome and the apartment is in the best location possible. Trastevere is a sophisticated and exciting place to live away from the crowds of tourists. It has palazzos, bars, restaurants, churches and friendly local Romans. Dining out in the surrounding area also came at a very good cost compared to being next to the coliseum. We always looked forward to being back after going out for the day. Trastevere was the nicest part of Rome as far as we were concerned.
This is an ideal place to stay if you are in Rome - and staying here gives you a chance to see parts of Rome away from simply the main attractions. Not that they are far away. Local transport links are very good and buses and trams run regularly - no more than 10 minutes walk from the apartment. Grazie Denis!
