This open studio apartment is beautiful, just as you see in the photos. It is in the heart of historic Trestevere, located on a small quiet side street with large windows that open for fresh air. It is a short walk to catch the bus that goes into the center of Rome, or you can rent a Lime bike and take a ride.
There are 2 flights of stairs to climb up to the apartment, and once you open the door It has a nice open floor plan and good size round kitchen table for daily use. The bathroom is well designed and has a great shower. The hot tub was wonderful to use after a very long day/night of walking across Roma, and a plus is the TV swivels to enjoy soaking and watching a movie on Netflix. The bed also provides for a good nights sleep. The kitchenette is small. If you are planning to cook like I was, it could be a little cramped, but doable. They provide a few bags of tea and some instant Nescafé but this is it. You will need to buy cooking essentials when you purchase groceries.
The most amazing thing about my stay at this Airbnb was the property manager, Andreas. He was incredibly communicative and went above and beyond to ensure I had an enjoyable stay. You never want to have to communicate with your Airbnb hosts, but if you need to, you want good communication and he’s the best I’ve ever experienced. The owners are quite lucky to have him as their property manager.
Pros: Beautiful open, comfortable and clean studio apartment. In the heart of Trestevere and close to public transportation, tons of bars and restaurants on the streets surrounding this Airbnb. There is also a mini market right next door to help stock your refrigerator too.
** Airport Taxi** Andreas booked me a car to the airport for a 4:45am pick-up and assured me they would be there to collect me. It was a great experience with a quick and easy trip to the airport. Please note, you MUST pay in CASH. So, please ensure you have the cash for the driver.
Cons: Spotty wifi. This was an issue, but Andreas was on it immediately as soon as I let him know there was an issue. This was due to the provider. The kitchenette is quite small if you have a longer term stay and plan to cook like I was. A wooden spoon, larger cutting board and pot holders would have been extremely useful.
Overall, this is a beautiful sanctuary to stay at during your short visit to Rome, with an extraordinary property manager to ensure your stay is nothing but easy and enjoyable.
