Adriana and company, thank you so much for having us! We had a fantastic stay and you treated us like old friends! You all were wonderful to the girls and I appreciate the attention you gave them!
The apartment is as photographed and described. The room is spacious, clean and with a comfortable bed, which I am almost sure is a US king size. If not, a queen at least. The pillows were great too. Just the right firmness.
The bathroom/shower is just down the hall and always kept clean. We never had to wait to use it, even when everybody's there.
The apartment is the perfect location for restaurants (La Frachetta next door had yummy tail and pizza, best suppli is next door too, Baylon serves fab €1 coffee and inexpensive pastries, Fatamorgana has fab gelato, Meridionale is also great but booking required, and more), play park, and sight seeing. The #8 tram takes you to Piazza Venice. From there you can catch the bus to all sorts of places (Colosseum, Spanish Steps, etc). The #23 bus from across the Tiber river takes you to the Vatican and H is direct to the train station. We walked a lot but at the end of the day, with young children, the bus/tram were convenient.
If you're a solo traveller, couple or like me, a mom with two little children who needs a safe and friendly place to stay in the middle of Rome, this is it! Trastevere is a wonderful neighbourhood and you'll have a great time! We never felt unsafe, even at night. Don't forget the wonderful hosts!! Our hosts were always willing to help and even woke up at 4am to make sure we got to our taxi (which they helped booked the night before) just fine.
Thank you all again and we hope to see you when we revisit Rome!
