Every year we take a February vacation to escape the Canadian winter. This year our trip coincided with our 20th anniversary and we decided to go to Rome for something special. We researched many potential places to stay and we landed on this apartment because of its location and amenities.
My partner is an architect and studied in Rome in the 1980s and his studio was in Trastevere on Piazza di Santa Maria, of which he has great memories. The apartment is a short walk from the piazza. Trastevere is known for its history, great restaurants, and lively ambience. It is a truly authentic Roman neighbourhood with cobblestoned streets and medieval beauty.
The apartment was a great base from which we explored both sides of the Tiber River. Every day we set out by foot to explore Rome and every night we ended our day by having dinner in one of Trastevere's amazing restaurants. And then we would get to come home to our Roman home.
The apartment exceeded our expectations which were already high based on the photos and previous reviews of the place. It is very spacious and thoughtfully laid out. It is well appointed and of high quality. There is a comfortable bedroom, two bathrooms (one with a soaker tub and the other with a shower), spacious living and dining area, and fully equipped kitchen. A highlight of our mornings was drinking espresso and enjoying the pace before embarking on our daily adventure. The place was stocked with provisions including coffee, milk, fresh bread and other snacks. The apartment has a very large sunny terrace.
Our experience with our host (Giuliano) and co-host (Maria) was stellar. Giuliano answered all questions prior to booking and Maria welcomed us on our first day and provided excellent support and guidance throughout our stay. We highly recommend this apartment and look forward to our next visit.
Grazie mille!
