My mother and I had a great stay at Enrico's apartment in Trastevere. The apartment itself was large, nicely decorated and very clean. The views of Rome were AMAZING--we were even treated to a thunder and lightening storm our first morning. After talking with some other folks on a tour about their lodging in Rome, I think we were really lucky to find Enrico's place. It was close to three helpful buslines and just up the hill from tons and tons of great restaurants and shops in the Trastevere neighborhood. If you visit, don't miss the Basilica Santa Maria in Trastevere--we saw a lot of churches in our time in Europe, but this one was truly unique. Best gelato I found in the neighborhood was Fior di Luna on via della Lungaretta, but Fatamorgana was a close second.

It was nice to have separate bedrooms for my mom and I, plus a washing machine and a kitchen with all the equipment we needed to eat in a couple of times. And as silly as it sounds, nice to have local TV so we could muddle our way through the Italian news reports :)

Communication was easy throughout the process. When we arrived, Enrico's mother met us at the apartment to show us around. We had an early flight and Enrico was kind enough to reserve a car service for us, which was great. He also checked in during our stay via e-mail to make sure all was well.

No hesitations recommending Enrico's place to others. Great value for the location and beautiful views!
