We ADORED this place and the Trastevere neighborhood! Vanina is rated a Super Host with good reason 😉 - super kind, helpful and communicative. The assortment of very reasonably priced red and chilled white wine in the apartment is a lovely touch. The Terrace was the heart of the home for us. It’s not overly large but it was a delightful space just off the kitchen at all hours... sipping coffee, wine, eating lunch and a few dinners.
The neighborhood is hopping with restaurants and shops yet the apartment is quiet and peaceful. Space was perfect for 2 though you could have more. Shower pressure/ hot water great, did several loads of laundry and air conditioning did the trick on the few hot days. We walked to most main attractions (Colesseum, Forum, Pantheon etc). Also used both bus and tram as phone navigation provides them all in great detail. Ponte Sisto bridge is a 5 min walk... Vanina provides 2 bikes which we used to ride along the Tiber entering just off the Garabaldi bridge on the SW side - lovely experience. Also found the COOP supermarket just across the Ponte Sisto terrific for staples and wine. Fiori Market is wonderful for produce that you can later enjoy on the terrace! The Carbonara at restaurant next door (the Egg) became a take out fav for us on several nights.
Cons: it’s a couple floors up so if mobility is an issue beware, trash needs to be disposed of about 4 min away (we stayed a week & generated a few bags), WiFi was weak on terrace and the bed (while firm and comfy) is against a wall so I had to climb over my husband.... none of this were detractors for us. Would stay here again in a heartbeat 💗 Gracie Vanina!
