We loved the location because it is in between the train station in Trastevere (which we took a cheap and quick train ride to straight from Fiumicino Airport when we arrived) and the rest of Trastevere (the cute/touristy part). We walked about 12 min either way to get to both sides of the city. One day we also boarded the tram right in front of the apartment (bought tickets from the tabacchi shop across the street) and it was an easy ride to our Colosseum/ancient Rome tour area in the morning. Then we took a nice slow stroll back to the apartment, stopping by the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Campo de’Fiori and the cute part of Trastevere. It was the perfect day. Its definitely possible to do all of that from her place if you don’t mind walking, but theres also always the tram back.
Also, though small, the studio was the perfect size for 2 sisters who were mostly out and about during the day. It was also pretty echoey and sound travels easily through the walls (which we’ve found pretty common in most of where we’ve stayed in Italy) but we didn’t mind that too much. But maybe not a good idea if you are a light sleeper. We found everything to be nice and clean, and had plenty of space for our luggage. Thanks again Carla hosting! Hopefully we will be back again!
