I have lived in Rome off and on for years. I even bring students here for a study abroad program and I know the city better than many Romans, particularly Trastevere where I have lived numerous times (from a few months to several years.) I chose this apartment for a special visit, bringing my niece for her first visit to Italy. I knew the location was wonderful (an area where we could easily walk back late at night, find good restaurants, and take advantage of the outdoor market at the corner for fresh local produce and specialty foods). I also could see from the photographs that the apartment was decorated with taste and that the layout was wonderful to share like a two bedroom - no need to pass through one bedroom to get to another room!!! It exceeded my expectations. Alesio and Zaira were fair and honest and sincerely cared about us being comfortable and happy. I highly recommend this apartment!
