Karen's apartment is so beautiful I had to remind myself to look out the window and enjoy the view on several occasions. The apt. Is spacious, well lit, and nicely furnished. We immediately felt right at home there. Not to mention everything you would need for cooking, dishwasher and washing machine. If you get stuck with a rainy day, Karen has quite a collection of books and movies to keep you occupied. As far as location it is amazing! Located on a quiet safe street in the area of Trastevere. We were able to park out car there with no problem for the 4 days we were there( make sure your drive in when the ZTL times are finished). This area is purely residential but just 2 minutes away is the lively main strip of Trastevere. It's 10 minutes walk away from Vatican city and Piazza Navona. Not far at all from ancient Rome either. Karen was very quick to respond and provide helpful info.
