Mirta was very helpful, maintained excellent communication throughout and kindly arranged for transfers to and from Fiumicino airport at a very reasonable rate given the level of service we experienced.

Mirta’s cousin Lavinia met us on our arrival at the property and explained the practical workings of the facilities the apartment had to offer.
The apartment is exactly as described and is characterful, a little quirky, but still practical.
However, the split level features within the apartment that create interest might not be ideal for families with very small children or perhaps a group with an elderly or infirm member.

This is the first time we have stayed in Trastevere but not our first visit to Rome. Rome is a relatively compact city and the apartment is very well located for accessing the major sites. Most of which are located on the other side of the river but of a manageable distance and always interesting walk.

The apartment, located just to the rear of the recently restored 17th-century fountain, has a view over Piazza Trilussa towards the Ponte Sisto and is a perfect place to watch the comings and goings and the nighttime spectacle of the exodus from Campo dè Fiori across the bridge into Trastevere. The fountain was obviously a popular spot for tourists too and especially Romans to meet and partake in their favoured pastime of step sitting. Step sitting activity would extend well into the small hours of the morning but was barely audible within the property. The two bedrooms are to the rear of the property and are very quiet for such a busy city location. During our stay in October there was no requirement for airconditioning but wish to point out that the bedrooms are equipped with individual units. We found the apartment to be very well equipped for our needs. On the day of departure we were just vacating the property as the cleaner arrived, and despite having ensured that the condition of the apartment was as spotlessly clean as it was on our arrival we noted that the cleaner was very thorough and went over everything for a second time.

Close to the apartment is perhaps one of our favourite spots to visit in Rome. A short 10 minute walk, incorporating a steep climb up the Gianicolo hill, will bring you to Bramante’s Tempietto set within the cloister of San Pietro in Montorio. From here there are lovely daytime and nighttime views over the city. For even more spectacular views one can continue up the hill past the Fontana dell'Acqua Paola to reach the Passeggiata Del Gianicolo for a panorama of the city.

This is our first experience of an Airbnb property and we were very happy with our choice.

Thank you Mirta and Lavinia.
