This beautiful, large apartment was perfect for our 9 day stay. Check-in and check-out were a breeze and we loved being a minute from the best restaurants in Rome yet a world away from the crowds and noise. We had the best of both worlds!
The apartment is not very bright but there’s a wonderful, large terrace that we loved having breakfast on. Every morning I’d dash over to Bar Del Cinque (3 minutes!) for “due cappuccini et due cornetti” that I’d happily take back to our haven while we prepped for our day exploring Rome.
There’s an excellent washing machine which we used (no drier but the rack works great) as well as a small fridge with freezer and even a dishwasher! We loved the DeLonghi Nespresso machine so much we bought one back home! (Load up on Lavazza pods here in Rome… they’re 1/3 to 1/2 the price we pay in N America!).
The bed is firm and so are the excellent pillows, something I enjoyed but my wife found uncomfortable with her bad back. Although the bed is theoretically a Queen, it’s definitely wider than those back home, though narrower than a King. There was tons of space to hang or store clothes. We enjoyed using the TV and couch to watch Netflix (included) at the end of a long day.
The bathroom is modern and spacious but smells musty. The building is old but well cared for and my guess is that the plumbing is not new, lol.
There are so many great places to eat in Trastevere and just a few steps from this Airbnb. We loved Dar Poeta for pizza, Evo and All Scala for Roman dishes, and Proscuitteria dei Papi and Essenza for incredible charcuterie boards. There’s fantastic microbrewed beer at Ma Che Siete Venuti A Fa. For gelato there are many options but we preferred Old Bridge (nearby) and FiordiLuna (a bit farther).
Trastevere restaurants get very busy at night so we suggest you try to reserve online to avoid frustration. (You’ll see what we mean!) We found it very handy to download the taxi app Free Now which allowed us to call taxis (much like using Uber) whenever and wherever we needed one.
We really can’t recommend this apartment enough! It felt wonderful to explore Trastevere and Rome from this lovely, comfortable, well-equipped home as though we lived there. Enjoy!!
