Just returned from 6 nights in Simonetta's wonderful apartment. We are a family of 4 with 2 teenagers and the location was great and within easy walking to most of the sites in Rome. We walked everywhere and you can get to all the major sights just by walking from here. It was lovely to walk across the bridge or along the river at the start or end of each day.
Simonetta was there to greet us to run through things when we arrived and gave us a welcome gift of wine, beer, cakes and jams. We had everything that we needed for our stay which meant we could get on with our holiday.
Simonetta provided all the essentials for our stay (including coffee and toilet tissue) and even contacted us half way through to see if we needed anymore clean towels. The kitchen is well equipped and the espresso machine in the apartment was fantastic. We enjoyed our early morning espresso sitting on the beautiful terrace at breakfast and then would sit in the evening with a bottle of wine or beer before venturing out into the town. Trastevere itself is a fabulously hip and trendy place to experience. Very lively and eclectic. Great atmosphere with a lovely piazza that had street entertainers on the weekend nights that we were there. Numerous great bars & restaurants. We can thoroughly recommend Tonnarello's and Pasta E Vino for great pasta and wine.
Thank you for making our stay at your beautiful apartment so wonderful Simonetta. We hope to return one day and wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else.
Travellers Tip: Getting from Fiumicino Airport was really easy and Simonetta will tell you which train and tram to take. It was really easy. Don't be tempted to get on the minibus that the touts are selling. It cost us half the price to take the train and tram and was really quick, easy and added to our experience of Rome.
