This was my first time in Rome and my second time using AirBnb during my trip to Europe.

Mr. Lapera (Jane's associate) stayed in contact with me throughout the process, even when our flight was delayed and our arrival was over 24 hours late. We arrived late in the evening around 10:30pm, and someone was there to get s inside and welcomed. He even helped carry our heavy suitcase up the 72 stairs (we counted) !

Apartment is fantastic! Open floor plan, with many windows and a great terrace. Perfect for the summertime. A/C kept the place cool without issue. The only downside is the top floor location in a building without a lift, but it really wasn't an issue for us. Well worth the view.

The neighborhood is great. Trastevere is on the west side of the Tiber river, but well within walking distance to many sites in Rome. We walked to the Campo di Fiori within 10-15 min, and from there is just a few minutes walk to the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Trevi Fountian and Spanish Steps. We did ride the bus to the Colosseum, but the metro system is great and drops us off just a few blocks away from the apartment. There are restaurants right outside the door of the apartment that do take out, as well as neat little shops and stores. The neighborhood seemed to be a busy nightlife spot, especially for younger people, and stayed busy until late in the night.

We had asked if we could stay an extra night because we had arrived a day late, and although he was unable to give us the room free of charge (he did have to make adjustments to other reservations), he did give us a discounted rate so we could extend our trip. Mr. Lapera was easy to work with and accommodating.
