We were met with Cristina’s daughter, Bianca, who speaks flawless English, and showed us around. Cristina's flat has lovely, quaint furnishings, far, far from the typical IKEA-flat, which gave amazing character to this already charming place. The bed is very good, the living room very pleasant to relax in. The kitchen nook is ridiculously tiny, but perfectly adequate for the morning caffè...
In such a busy neighbourhood as Trastevere (which, in addition to its well-known charm, is within easy walking distance of the historical center and the Vatican, among others), this incredibly quiet nest was a godsend. In February, we could only admire the swimming pool from outside... but we did enjoy the small patio for the evening drinks (although when the weather was wet, it tended to be a little green and slippery).
When we went away, we simply left the keys on the table, without needing a precise check-out slot, which was quite convenient.
In short, this is a perfect romantic hideaway for a couple !
