This is a HUGE apartment that is beautifully decorated with modern furnishings. Location is great, with wonderful food right around the corner or just 5 min to the main square in Trastevere. Mostly quiet but there is some street noise if you open the windows -- we had no problem getting great nights of sleep. Wireless Internet is super fast, no lag for our 14 year old who *had* to get some gaming in. This is an ideal place for a family - parents get their own bedroom, two twin beds for kids in a very small room, and additional pull out coach in living room (we didn't try it, but it was very comfortable to sit on).

Supermarket is just 1 block away (3 min walk) and there's a fun market in the mornings there as well.

Rome isn't easy to get around because of lack of transportation. There is a taxi rank at Piazza Bellini, about 7 mins walk away. Or just call and they will show up at your door. 30 mins walk to Colosseum or Vatican.

Host lives in the building, and very responsive to any questions. We would highly recommend Manara House to any Rome visitor!
