What a great apartment! We’ve just come back from a four-night break and our base in Trastevere was brilliant. It is exactly as it looks in the photos but bigger. And it does look onto the main square in Trastevere.

We travelled with our three children (aged 4, 6 & 8) and it was great to have so much room to spread out. When the kids tumbled into bed at night, we had to choose whether to have our drinks on the roof terrace (lovely lights and space there BTW) or in the main living room looking onto the square to soak up the atmosphere.

It was a great base for the city. We walked to all the sites from here. There is a decent supermarket and lots of delis nearby which are great if you want to eat at home – which we did some nights. There are so many restaurants on the doorstep that it’s easy to eat out too or get take-away pizzas. Did we mention there are lots of nice cafes, bars and ice-cream parlours too?

Marzia – you’ve been a pleasure to deal with and we cannot praise your hard work enough. You have put together a really lovely space. Everything from the storage to the crockery, the furniture to the furnishings. And the extras that are so welcome such as working wifi and little details such as the kitchen basics.

It was a great place to escape to and we hope to be able to return sometime in the future.
