We loved our stay at Lavinia's Bon Bon Flat in Trastevere. We booked this apartment largely due to all the glowing reviews on this site and now I'm among them. From the moment we booked, Lavinia was in touch with us to assure that the check in process and transportation from the airport to her flat was easy. As we were arriving in Rome in July and it was brutally hot, we decided to take private transportation vs trains and buses. Lavinia graciously arranged this for us and it worked out seamlessly.
Trastevere is a super location when visiting Rome. Close by foot or bus, taxi to all the main attractions yet it is a bit quieter with smaller buildings but loaded with great restaurants, cafes etc. Reminded us of Greenwich Village in NYC.
The apartment was phenomenal!!! Lavinia greeted us and showed us around and provided useful suggestions for things to do, restaurants etc. The apartment looked exactly as represented on the site and we were so comfortable there. Even after each day of being out and about in Rome in the blazing heat, we would come home ( it really felt like home!) and the apartment was cool. The AC units worked great and the apartment cooled even further within a few minutes. The bedroom and huge walk in closet were spacious and the bed super comfortable.
3 days was barely enough time but we had to move on with our travel plans. I hope to return to Rome again soon and would love to return to Lavinia's flat.
If your travel plans bring you to Rome, I highly recommend staying here. You won't be sorry!!!
Grazie Lavinia for your kind hospitality
