We had an amazing time staying here.
First, the flat is exactly as pictured and described. It was very clean and comfortable. Our favorite part of our stay here had to be the location of the flat. We loved the neighborhood. There are so many options for food and drinks that you will have a hard time deciding where to go! I have never eaten so much gelato in my entire life. The window looks out over a lively street full of cafes and shops. When we stopped back in the afternoon for a rest, we would leave the window open and listen to the sounds of the street, which was lovely. One thing that other travelers have mentioned is noise from the street at night. We did not find this to be much of a problem. The windows are double paned and there are metal shutters outside as well. On weekenights we heard nothing from the street. We were there on a Friday that was also "Rome's Birthday" so there were a lot of folks in the street very late. With the window and shutters closed, the raucous street party just below became barely a murmur. Really though, to be in the heart of such a lively and beautiful neighborhood is what one should focus on. There are also lovely churches and museums to visit within Trastevere. We also found that everywhere we planned to visit, like the historical center, Vatican and Colosseum were reachable by foot, although cabs were also fairly cheap and could be used easily.
Communication with Carlotta was great. She was very responsive and helped answer all of my questions. She met us at the prearranged time. She showed us the flat and gave us great recommendations. We also greatly appreciated that she was willing to assist us with a reservation at one of the dinner spots she recommended. We didn't expect this service and we think she went above and beyond. If we come back to Rome, we would certainly stay here again.
Overall, 10/10. Thank you for such a great stay!
