This was the perfect place to stay for our first time in Rome! Laura could not have been a better host- she met us at the bar just down the street from the apartment and bought us "welcome" drinks, which were much needed after a long morning of travel. Her recommendations for the area were spot-on. Not only is the location of the apartment (Trastevere) amazing- close enough to touristy stuff (and also a relatively short walk from the Vatican), but definitely off the beaten path- but also the apartment was incredible. Super-modern and comfortable, with air conditioning and a spacious shower. The apartment was clearly renovated recently and it is obvious that she paid careful attention to detail. We would absolutely recommend Laura's place to anyone visiting Rome and would love to stay here again!
