Emiliano was a wonderful host and this location is an absolute gem, especially for my husband and me as first time visitors to Rome. Emiliano has a wealth of recommendations and tips for how to get around, where to eat and drink, and what to see, and he’s by far one of the most communicative and friendly hosts we’ve met.
The location is near the edge of Trastevere, a stone’s throw from a huge number of popular, bustling bars and restaurants. By day, the narrow alleys are endlessly charming, and by night, they come alive with folks sipping and dining in the streets. Amazingly, even though it’s right in a busy alley, the apartment is very quiet at night because it opens up to a private courtyard.
The room itself is cozy, but refreshingly cool (AC is strong!) and Emiliano has stocked it with toiletries, coffee, and tea. The bed is very comfortable. I have a hard time imagining a more ideal base for our trip!
