Rita's place is spacious and lovely - in a fantastic location, steps from the Ponte Sisto bridge leading to the quaint Trastevere section of Rome (our favorite section). There was a bit of noise at night on the weekend from the people heading back down the road after visiting Trastevere, but that's because it's in a very central location - easy to walk around Rome to see all the sites. The noise on a weekday was non-existent. We were very happy that we took Rita up on her offer to use her transfer from the airport to her Airbnb (35 Euro). Rita's friend and her husband picked us up and they were super friendly. Rita was very gracious, greeting us upon arrival and giving us restaurant tips. There is an excellent gelato place a few steps away from her apartment as well as a quaint cafe - Nonna Vincenza and even a small grocery store. We would definitely recommend staying in Rita's lovely, well-appointed apartment.
