Beautiful Apartment in an Awesome Location - Great Host!!
We loved the decor and style of the home, the size of the rooms, the modernness of the kitchen, the cabinetry, the air conditioning and especially the extremely thick and well insulated windows which block out most of the evening street sounds. We were in bed by 11:00 pm and slept soundly, so while the apartment is on a lively street with many restaurants, the apartment is pretty quiet, not silent, but acceptable for all but the lightest of sleepers. We visited in March and needed heat, not air conditioning, but it would appear that the apartment could be kept quite cool with each main room having a new and powerful air con unit. Note, if you need the heat adjusted, you need to message the host who controls that via an internet connection. You can’t adjust yourself, but Marina was always quick to respond and it wasn’t a problem.
The location is terrific and lively in the afternoons and evenings.
The bar/cafe across the street, see photo, is open at 7:00 am and does a lovely espresso or cappuccino and in the evening serves excellent Negroni and other cocktails. For food many of the restaurants are total tourist traps serving horrible food so pick carefully. However, Tonnarello on Piazza di Santa Maria, was excellent. No bookings and usually a line, but it moves very quickly. They have a 4.7/5.0 google map rating with an astounding 32,014 reviews. Tonnarello

For transportation - ask to be picked up or dropped off at Piazza Trilussa. We found that Uber and even some taxis didn’t like driving directly to the apartment entrance, which because of the narrow one-way streets can take an extra 5-10 minutes. Its only a 2 min walk to the apartment from Piazza Trilussa. Also there is a taxi stand at the Piazza.
We would absolutely return.
