Mirko is a great host and was very friendly and accommodating. The neighborhood is well-located and a quick tram ride to the nightlife of Trastevere and across the river into the heart of the city. Safe area for sure.
We did have a couple of issues during our stay worth noting for potential guests:
-The bathroom smelled very bad. We had to keep the window open and the door shut to keep the smell from permeating the entire apartment. Not sure if it was a specific issue or just old plumbing, but it was pretty gross and overwhelming.
-Generally, it's a quiet area and quiet apartment, but there were some noise issues. The elevator is by the bedroom, so you can hear that every time it's in use. The bed is also very loudly creaky, so every time my wife or I rolled over, there was a loud noise. Finally, the walls are pretty thin, so you can hear if there's a noisy neighbor. We only had that issue one night when some people (clearly tourists) were loud late at night, but worth noting. If you are a deep sleeper who doesn't mind stuff like that, I'm sure it's fine, but if you're a light-sleeper or have trouble falling asleep like we do, it can be frustrating.
