I loved this home so much, I was honestly emotional to leave it. Before arriving I was nervous about the flights of stairs, as I had a really heavy suitcase. Marco was so kind and did the awful job of carrying it up for me, which I really appreciated. I then learnt to enjoy the climb up to the flat after a long day and collapsing on the bed! The house itself is lovely, I loved the plants, the little window between the kitchen and the main room, and the balcony table and chairs. Everything you need has been provided in that space. The shower was even stronger than my one at home! The view is stunning, even on a grey day the building’s sang out in all their colours. There is distant noise from the bars around the area, but once you shut the balcony doors and the window most of it disappears. Plus I genuinely liked hearing the distant hustle and bustle of the city going on far away. Marco made the effort to put together suggestions for where to head in the neighbourhood and the ones I tried were all wonderful. Trastevere as an area is just gorgeous, Rome is so walkable you don’t need to worry that this might be too far away - it’s not at all. I’m a slow walker and within 10 minutes I was at Campo de Fiori, with the majority of the main sights only a short walk away from there. It was important for me to have a feel of real Roman life and I’m so happy I booked this apartment, it gave me all that and more.
