Ekaterina's place was spotless, roomy and perfectly decorated! There were five of us on this trip and we all found the beds (and the smaller sofa bed) to be very comfortable. We also had an espresso machine and plenty of coffee for all of us during our stay. (Did I mention how great Italian coffee is?!)
We were greeted by Ekaterina's friend, Valentina, who gave us tons of tips about restaurants in the area and how to avoid tourist traps, and we found ourselves asking for her advice quite a lot!
The location in Trastevere is amazing, very close to the markets and bustling streets of this hip neighbourhood. We were never more than a ten-minute walk away from a great restaurant or a gelato/sweets place (pro tip: look for Biscottificio Innocenti!)
However, we felt that transport links were quite unreliable and often needed to take a taxi unless our journeys would have taken close to an hour. But this is more of a "Rome problem", as the entire city seems rather poorly connected, with buses being rare and packed with travellers.
We would definitely stay there again as the flat is perfect for two couples, with or without children. Thank you so much Ekaterina for having us!
