This apartment proved to be an ideal location from which to explore Rome. The unit has a large bedroom with a very comfortable bed, and a large living area which includes a couch that converts to an extra bed if needed. Everything was in excellent condition and extremely clean. And Alexio is the perfect host. His style is to communicate frequently and answer queries immediately, with a lot of local detail. As for a location from which to explore Rome, Trastevere can not be beat. The unit is a short walk to the river, and then on to all the major sites. The vibe is very local with a lot of evening street life, but none of the commercialism found in the Roman squares so often mentioned in the guide books.
