Maurizio is the best host in Rome, and this location and apartment is fabulous. Even before we arrived, he touched base several times to ensure we knew where we were going, and once he had our train number, met us at the station in his car so we did not have to walk. After dropping off our things, he then gave us a mini-tour of the area in our car, showing us the best restaurants, the nearest grocery store, bakery, takeout pizza spots, as well as other essentials like the the bus stops, taxi stands, and neighborhood landmarks. He was extremely responsive and considerate of our experience throughout the entire trip, always a text away when we had questions. And his knowledge and enthusiasm for Rome is contagious.
As for the apartment and location, I am so happy and grateful for choosing this place. The area has the most amazing overlooks of the whole city, and there is plenty to eat, see, and enjoy nearby on days where you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the denser and more touristy areas of Rome. As for getting to all of those landmarks, I usually walked, enjoying the chance to pass through the unique Trastevere neighborhood on the way, and got to pretty much any site I wanted in 45 minutes or less. The bus was an option I used when tired or in a hurry, and the nearby taxi stand (1 block) is there as well.
The apartment itself had beautiful views from its many windows and balconies, and was impeccably clean, quiet, and charming. I especially loved the chandeliers and gorgeous tiling.
If you are on the fence, book this place. You will not regret it, and we cannot wait to return.
