An incredible value, if anything better than photos. By American sensibilities Attic is not a positive word so don't get caught up in that. I would say it was more like a penthouse i.e. top floor unit with a fantastic view. True there's a walk up the stairs, but you're in one of the oldest neighborhoods in the world. I wouldn't stress on that.
THE PROS
Check in was great. Jane sent great directions from the airport and her friend Mr PIERLUIGI who was very welcoming and took time to point out the various features including how to use Wifi.
This being Rome the water pressure is AMAZING (not kidding) They have water everywhere in Rome.
The views, furniture, bedding, set-up, and overall value for the money were outstanding. I felt almost guilty about the price.
THE CONS
They unit needs new and appropriate towels, pillows, shower head, a place to put things while in the shower, and the shower is slow to drain. We're talking about $200 in investments here. If I were in Rome longer I would have bought them for them, as the price for this place was so cheap!!!! Crazy cheap. If Jane makes these couple of minor tweaks you're literally looking at one of the best places to stay in Trastevere Roma! I gave Jane a full five star rating as we're talking minor stuff here, though important by American standards.
