My boyfriend and I just returned from a 3 night stay in Rome and we cannot recommend Marina's Trastevere Color-Suite enough! It is EXACTLY as it appears in the pictures if not better.
Having been picked up at the airport by a driver which Marina arranged beforehand, we were welcomed to the apartment by Marina who was super friendly and showed us around and explained how everything works. The apartment is beautiful with every need you might have having been considered down to the smallest things including an iron, drying rack and mosquito repellent plugs! The very lovely Marina even filled the fridge with a selection of breakfast treats including muffins, jams, fruit juices, water and generously left a bottle of Prosecco.
What jumped out at us when arriving is how totally spotless the place is - the towels and bed sheets smelt heavenly. Even the insides of the wardrobes have been laced with sweet smelling products which goes to show how literally every nook and cranny in this place is maintained to a high standard.
This was our first trip to Rome but area-wise we feel that we could not have picked a better location. The number 8 tram is a 5 minute walk away and can get you closer to most of the main tourist sites if you don't fancy walking (everything is pretty much within walking distance though so we hardly used it).
Then of course you have the little cobbled winding streets of Trastevere on your doorstep filled with lovely restaurants and bars and a general bohemian vibe. You're also a 5 minute walk from the river which in the evening turns into an open air strip of bars, restaurants and arts/crafts stalls - lovely! We were thankful to not be staying in the thick of tourist traps such as Trevi, Piazza Navona or Pantheon for example. As lovely as it was to explore areas such as these, wandering back to the apartment and stopping for a gelato or drink in the more laid back Trastevere neighbourhood was an utter delight. Although it has a buzz and is busy particularly in the evenings, it doesn't feel as dominated by tourists.
Thanks to Marina for making our trip such a delight - we will most definitely be returning to Rome and hope to stay at the Trastevere Color-Suite again when we do.
