Sara’s place was an amazing find and a great base for our trip to Rome!
Check in and check out were very smooth, Sara was in touch with us well in advance and was really flexible and helpful with our check in time as we arrived early. There was someone there to meet us and show us around the apartment. Check out was equally smooth and I must mention that there is a weighing scales in the apartment so we could weigh our suitcases before leaving which was really helpful!
The apartment was very clean, spacious and the thermostat meant we were warm and cosy on our February trip. It is on a lovely quiet street off the main drag, full of character and felt peaceful and tranquil. The bedroom especially was really snug and quiet as it is at the back of the apartment. The living room was very comfortable with a proper sofa, dining table and everything we needed to make ourselves at home. The gas stove was excellent for cooking and we had all the utensils, knives and good quality pans we needed to use the delicious produce from the market! Sara also left a really helpful guide to the local area with some tips for where to eat which came in very handy; and Massimo, the apartment manager, was in touch with us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed.
Trastevere is a wonderful, vibrant neighbourhood full of great restaurants and spots for aperitivo - the wine bar across the street is a must visit and there is a great craft beer bar at the end of the street too! The local market is only five minutes away and has wonderful fruit, vegetables, butchers, cheese and we even bought some beautiful tulips!
If some sightseeing is on your agenda, the apartment is an easy 20 minute walk to the Pantheon or Trevi fountain and has great transport links to the Colosseum, Forum and the Vatican. We could not have enjoyed our trip more and Sara’s place was the cherry on top.
