This was a nice clean, well-located apartment very close to the center of Trastevere. We were met at the front door at the time we had agreed, the apartment was very clean, and there was a free landline phone for local calls. Additionally, though we had a miscommunication about specific details, the owners were very accommodating in allowing us to leave our bags inside the apartment until later on in the day when we were departing, which meant we could visit an additional tourist site that morning.

Areas we found a little less than expectations were: (1) There is a wi-fi connection (actually, there are three connections), but we found that connectivity on most of our devices was spotty; (2) the living room has one couch,which converts to a bed, but not really enough comfortable seating for four people. (The only other seating is plastic chairs.); (3) The television has cable but no English-language channels.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Manara House because of its location and the warm welcome we experienced from the owners.
