Christina's English is perfect so it was very easy to communicate about arrival and departure. She is generous and quick to respond to an email with any need you might have. She makes you feel welcome and at ease and leaves you in total trust with her apartment. The Loft is comfortable for two people and the fold out couch is great for a guest. The closet kitchen is good for making morning coffee or very light cooking. Adequate hot water for two to shower. We were there in January 2013 and it was cozy and warm in the loft though rainy and cold outside. It is in a perfect location in Trastevere and we walked to everything rarely needing a taxi. A bus connection to Piazza Venezia, Termini Train Station "H" bus is really easy to get and only a 5 minute walk to Garibaldi Bridge. You are a short walk away from Piazza Fiori, the Vatican, Piazza Navonna, Trevi Fountain. It has a beautiful courtyard that is always nice to come home to. I can imagine in the hot weather enjoying our private patio and use of the pool. I will miss being there and hope to return soon
