this is our 4th time staying Rome and our second time staying in Trastevere. the location was a little too central for us as the area gets a little noisy at night. however, with the windows and shutters closed it is not a real issue. we arrived by car and managed to park outside to offload baggage. access is very good with a lift to the fifth floor. the apartment is better than the pictures show with excellent taste in design and furniture. the views from the front balcony and the rear enclosed balcony are excellent. the living room is very comfortable, the bed is fantastic being large and supportive (a must for old fogies like us) with top grade bed linen. heating was needed in Feb and worked very well. each room also has AC for the warmer months but we did not try it. the kitchen is small but well stocked with everything needed to cook if required including some store cupboard basics. only thing missing for the British being a kettle. the road below and surrounding areas are bang in the middle of the more touristy restaurants. not necessarily a bad thing as they offer good fare at reasonable prices. Hosteria Del Moro is recommended, good food, ok pricing, great service, even when busy. Il Duca in Trastevere, just opposite the door the the apartment, not so good. in all would recommend but more for the slightly younger at heart.
