Monica and Giuliano were fantastic hosts. We stayed 8 days here and were very happy with the accommodations. The apartment was spotless and as described in a very close proximity to major attractions. At one point the water went cold and Giuliano was there in no time to make the quick fix. We would definitely stay here again! Some key things to be aware of if you are new to international travel....we learned a bit late..

1) - don't be afraid to look out a bit beyond your area. The old and really cool part of Trastevere is only a couple of blocks up on the left...fantastic dining and cool stuff to see.

2) - Learn that bus and tram schedule. It is a very short ride to the major events and we walked back a few times. We could have saved a ton on cabs.

3) - Never buy a sim card at the airport. There is a small shop up the street that sells sim cards with 1 GB of data for 10 Euro...very helpful as well.

4) - The bar just in front of the apartment has great coffee, foods, and is very helpful...really convenient

5) - Take tours...we did the Dark Rome evening walking tour and vatican...well worth the money.

6) - Hit the old Jewish Getto...there are some pretty good restaurants there and the food is awesome.

7) - Enjoy your time at Peppe House! It is in a great location and is a fantastic place to stay.
