Maria and Roberto are wonderful hosts! They were very prompt and clear with communication, and their home was quite comfortable with all we needed for a delightful stay. They were kind to accommodate our need for luggage storage before our departure, and didn’t charge us the late checkout fee, as it worked out with the next arriving guests coming in late in the day. Maria met us at the apartment and showed us around, and even taught us how to use the European stove coffee pot. The community around Trestevere (pronounced: Tress-TEV-er-ray—this took us a while to say properly) was safe and friendly, though feels a bit sketchy with graffiti present all over Rome. The best cappuccino we’ve ever had was at Gisele, recommended by Roberto and Maria. It was within walking distance for everything we did from Borghese Gallery to coliseum, to Priori of Malta, but a bit too far for Aquaduct park. We’re not athletes, but you need to be able to handle stairs and uneven surfaces anywhere in Rome. The shower tight, but manageable and new renovation is coming, Maria said. The water was nice and hot and plenty of water pressure. Had everything we needed for a lovely stay including a sweet gift of local treats.
