This apartment was PERFECT for us, and Elena was an attentive, generous, and kind host! Bottom line: We HIGHLY recommend - great apartment, fantastic location, wonderful host. We only were there 3 nights but would have stayed longer and would stay here again without researching anyplace else. A GREAT FIND!

It is actually better than it looks in the pictures - it is brand-newly renovated, so it is modern and clean and bright, with new & nice stove, fridge, shower, etc. The entrance to the building doesn't look like much (it's old & a bit worn/graffitied), but - once inside - the apartment is an oasis. The terrace (!!!) overlooks Trilussa Square (Piazza Trilussa) in the Trastervere neighborhood and is charming. We didn't have great weather but still enjoyed it... In nicer weather, it's a PERFECT spot to take breakfast and have an aperitivo after a busy day of site-seeing. I might book for the terrace alone.

This is a great place for a couple with a big, real bed and a spacious bedroom. There is also a futon/klik-klak in the same room for those with an extra traveler. Bathroom is clean and modern. Italian stovetop coffee maker and coffee were provided - which is always a plus for us! Small kitchen table and a table on the terrace.

Location: Literally just around the corner from Trilussa Square in Trastevere, surrounded by bars and restaurants in a very lively neighborhood, and just 100 meters across the Ponte Sisto bridge over the Tiber River and you are in the Centro Storico of Rome with all the sites.

DOWNSIDE: There are only two small criticisms, and neither is a big deal. 1) The Wi-Fi connection was very weak and only worked for me when I was in the bedroom. 2) If you are a light sleeper (we are not), you may hear the revelers in the bars & restos in the surrounding area, which is lively especially on Friday/Saturday nights. There are double windows which help a lot, but you could still hear partyers or street music. We are not light sleepers so no worries (plus, kind of fun to listen to music & people having fun). If you are a light sleeper, bring ear plugs and rent this place anyway - it is worth it.

Finally, Elena was easy to communicate with, gave local recommendations, and made us feel very welcome. Thank you Elena!
