Chiara and Lucia are such wonderful hosts. Upon arriving, they explained in detail things we would need to know about the apartment, provided us with maps and tour guides, and had a delicious pie baked for us. I was amazed with the thoroughness of their welcome. The apartment is a decent size for Rome and in a great location in Trastevere. The apartment is located on a quiet street, but all you have to do is turn the corner and you are surrounded with lively restaurants and shops. I preferred staying here vs. the other side of the river because it was quieter and more like a neighborhood. The Vatican is within an easy 20-25 min walk. My only critique is that the shower stall is quite small. I would stay here again if I was in Rome.
