Two of the things that stand out about this rental are 1) unsurpassed communication with the host and 2) location in one of the nicest areas of Rome = Trastevere. Malko is an incredible host who goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is great. He initiates communication, responds near immediately when you contact him, provides detailed messages and is extremely helpful. He guided us from the train station to his apartment with directions and bus map pictures, arranged our 5:45 am airport transfer and met us at the apartment soon after we arrived. We stayed in Rome for a week with 6 nights in Monti neighborhood and one night in Trastevere. We love both neighborhoods but there is something special about Trastevere from its unique narrow streets to its bustling restaurant scene to its accessibility to the rest of the city. It is a gem of a neighborhood, and this listing is in the heart of it, tucked away on a narrow quiet street full of history and vibes. Magical comes to mind when describing Trastevere from the streets full of character to the walkable bridges over the Tiber River that separate the neighborhood from the rest of Rome. And one of the best restaurants is just a 100 yard walk from the front door = Da Enzo al 29. The restaurant is so good you are guaranteed to wait in line no matter when you go. We went for 6:30, waited behind 20 people who were there earlier... for the 7 pm opening, and the line behind us was another 20 people. We went one afternoon and the line was so long we left… but glad we came back! Food is awesome. As for the apartment, I wouldn’t call it luxurious but it more than adequately meets your needs with a small kitchen combined with a living room, a bathroom on the same floor with a washer and shower, and a staircase up to an open bedroom that overlooks the main area. The layout, ceiling-wise could be challenging for taller people with lower than normal clearance, i.e, watch your head! But this is a loft so that type of design is expected. I can definitely recommend this apartment, and hope we can return one day. Thanks Malko!
