We had a great stay in Chiara’s Riverside Apartment 3.Chiara was fantastic to correspond with us, answering all our questions and giving us directions and tips from how to get to the apartment to local tips for restaurants and public transport. It was very convenient for getting the train down to the airport this morning. We walked everywhere ( and felt pretty safe even late at night) , so didn’t use public transport very often... but keep in mind that trains and trams don’t run late at night and the night busses are not very reliable , so if you are going to be out after midnight walk, use a taxi ( negotiate price first ) or Uber. If you think you may use busses and trams a lot, it may be worth buying a 1,2,or 3 day pass at Roma Termini station. I saw quite a few people with Roma Passes too which gives access to most museums(not the Vatican) as well as public transport. There is a nice path that runs all along the river ( there is an entrance directly across the road from the apartments) all the way up past old Trastevere and then on towards the Vatican . But I wouldn’t recommend using it at night as there is no lighting along the river. Great for renting a bike too if you upload the App.
The apartment itself was comfortable and spotless. Bedroom and bathroom spacious and Kitchen is well stocked for easy meal prep . Chiara has the cupboard stocked with tea, coffee, sugar, herbs, olive oil , salt etc. Our balcony was lovely and sunny and a nice spot for an evening drink or supper .There is a small grocery store around the corner...as you leave the apartment turn right and then right again down the lane behind the building . It has everything you would need and they were super friendly and helpful!
