If you want to spend your Roman vacation in Trastevere, the location of this apartment is perfect! Close to great restaurants, bars and shopping, without being too far from the major sights. During our stay in Rome, we walked everywhere from here, to the ancient centre and the Vatican.

The apartment itself is not large, but big enough to not feel claustrophobic in. There is a kitchen/dining area with enough to cook at least pasta (that's all I made but I'm sure you could do more, its got a stove, fridge and microwave), and make coffee. The living/bedroom area has a couch, TV, DVD player, double bed and folding single bed (which were all quite comfortable). We didn't have any noise issues, the windows are double-paned and the air conditioning works great so we slept with the windows closed. The bathroom was fine, and had a working washing machine. There was plenty of detergent so we had no need to run out and buy some. The "dryer" in this apartment is a European dryer aka a drying rack.

I need also mention that I wished I had packed slippers with me when staying here. The floors were not clean at all, and when I arrived I had to pull out the cleaning solution to wipe down all the surfaces in the bedroom and kitchen. Even after sweeping the floor I would get black feet after showering. The shower head was broken, so instead of water coming out the ports on the head, it would leak out from the connection above (so very little pressure but I guess still effective). The drain in the shower wouldn't let much water through, even after drain-o-ing it twice it was on the verge of overflowing. For most of our stay, the hot-water was fine, but for some reason we only had freezing cold water on our last night there.

We had a great stay in Rome at this apartment, I just wish I didn't have to spend as much time as I did doing housework.
