Relaxing Stay, Great Location
Review Submitted: March 11, 2009
Date of Stay: January 2009
We stayed here from Jan. 3-8, 2009, and couldn't have asked for a better place. The apartment was clean, in a great location and had everything we needed. It was spacious, well decorated, and the beds and couches were great after a long day of walking through Rome. We felt at home within a few hours of being there. Plus, there was satellite TV (with some channels in English!) and an Internet connection. All in all, the apartment really was true to the pictures and descriptions online. So, rest assured you'll get what you're expecting.
As an additional perk, the apartment location really has the best of both worlds -- it's close enough to the city center but not overrun by tourists and tourist traps. The neighborhood was safe and there were plenty of shops within walking distance. We were only a few blocks from an affordable grocery store and literally two minutes from two phone centers. We could call the US for only 10 EU cents/minute, so that was nice. And, Trastevere Station was just a few blocks away. We were able to get to pretty much everything we wanted to see within a few minutes and the commute from the airport was cheap and easy. Just be aware that there may not be as many English speakers in Trastevere as there are in the historic center. But, you're in Italy, so it's all part of the experience.
I would definitely recommend the apartment to friends and will stay here again when we're lucky enough to go back to Rome. It was great for my wife an I, who are in our 20s, and my parents. So, no matter who you are, you really can't go wrong.
