The garden was a nice area to get away from the crowds. Check in was difficult as contact numbers provided were not responded to, but ultimately we were met for access. Kitchen was well equipped if you choose to cook. Washing machine and dishwasher available, but if you plan to use bring your own soap. The bedding was comfortable, but towels could use an update. Many restaurants and night life available throughout the area.

This apartment is in the perfect location. The environment is typical of the neighborhood with restaurants and shops. The one detractor is the graffiti outside the location, but there is graffiti on most every building in that area. The door lock is a single key you have to take with you so if some staying with you want to stay, they have to be locked in if you leave and take the key. Be careful with that aspect of the apartment. The rooms are spacious and very clean. It is quite in the upstairs bedrooms and the back garden is lovely.

Quiet street in the heart to Trastevere

The location cannot be beat! Right off of a small Piazza in an alley, the apartment was the perfect base to explore the eclectic Trastevere neighborhood with bars and restaurants at your finger tips! We found the beds comfortable and the back patio was an added bonus! The stay was perfect for 4 adults and 2 kids who slept on the pullout sofa. The kitchen was well equipped to cook in, but plenty to do just steps from your door!

Misleading title

First the cons. The title says elegant place. There is no elegance for this place. It is rustic urban. A bit rundown and tired in the furnishings. Second the place says air conditioning and we needed air conditioning. However, the one unit didn’t work making the front bedroom very very warm. The managements answer was open the windows. However, the street noise is very high especially we were there on a Friday night. The noise didn’t stop till after 3 AM. I know that is not an issue with the unit but certainly opening the windows wasn’t going to make things any better. a few small nitty things include there was no garbage can or recycling bins in the kitchen. The pros the management was accommodating enough to allow us to bring our luggage early. Communication was pretty good until I asked about the air conditioning then they went silent.

Great Location and Team, but the Property Needs Some Attention

Our stay at this property had its highs and lows. On the positive side, the communication with the host was excellent. The team was friendly, responsive, and quickly helped resolve an issue I caused during our stay, which I greatly appreciated. The location in Trastevere is unbeatable—vibrant, full of life, with amazing food, shops, and locals. You truly get the best of Rome's charm in this neighborhood. However, the property itself left a lot to be desired. It’s aged and didn’t feel well-maintained. The second bathroom was very small and barely usable, and several features, like the sticky doors, made the space feel neglected. The cleanliness was also an issue—it never quite felt clean, which detracted from the overall experience. The description of the place was accurate but didn't convey some of these details that would have been good to know beforehand. Overall, while the location is fantastic and the team is great, the property itself could use some work to make it feel more comfortable. My partner and I are middle-aged, and the price range suggests that this property is targeted toward a similar demographic. However, if you’re younger, you might overlook some of the things we found bothersome—such as the state of maintenance or the smaller bathroom—which we tend to take for granted at this price point.

Pictures misrepresent property

Overall disappointed with property. It felt tired and dingy. Beds weren’t made up when we arrived, dishwasher still had dishes from last visitor, outdoor cushions were left in the rain, so we couldn’t use them to sit outside. While the location was good, we didn’t spend much time in the unit.

Great location!

We enjoyed our stay at this apartment in Rome. The location was superb - next door to a fantastic restaurant and within a modest walk to most of Rome's historic sites. While we loved the location, the property itself left much to be desired. While nice and quaint, the photos in the listing are very dated. There was a small broken window in the kitchen, no toilet paper upon arrival, furniture was worn. There is a nice courtyard in the back, but the outdoor furniture was not particularly clean. I would caution that it would be very challenging for 6 people to sleep there comfortably. There are two bedrooms, each with a bed for two and no room in either bedroom for additional people. Several small things throughout are what caused us to give a slightly lower rating. For instance, only three bulbs worked on the strand of lights in the courtyard, the TP, etc. On the plus side, the hosts were very kind and responsive when we asked questions. The power went out one day -which caused our hot water to stop- and they quickly told us how to get the breaker reset. They provided a helpful map and other information to get us started. We appreciated their kindness throughout.

Location to main attractions about a 25 minute walk. Normally not a big deal but the heat was excessive when we were there. The 2nd night we were there we came back to a street/alley with table setting for a restaurant which was right outside our door. It was very noisy for sleeping.

The location was fantastic! Our family of 4 had plenty of space and slept well here. The kitchen seemed well equipped, although we did not actually do any cooking. There are many delicious restaurants nearby. There is also a great bar around the corner for our morning cappuccinos/evening drinks. Beautiful narrow cobblestone streets. The area is simply magical!

Too loud.

The apartment is located next to a restaurant that is open all night. The restaurant’s outdoor seating went across the front door of the apartment which meant you had people eating dinner at midnight right at your front door. To get in the apartment we had to walk between restaurant tables. Totally crazy. No one was as able to get any sleep. There is also a square about two hundred yards to the left of the apartment where college kids drink and party until 3-4 in the morning every night. The apartment was fine but needs a deep cleaning. However, the noise was terrible and ruined our stay.

Location great, property tired

I had read the reviews prior to booking in the hope the owners would fix some issues. Nothing really wrong with the apartment, just unloved. Be prepared for one wine glass (only) almost no amenities... We left a full bottle of washing machine liquid for our next guests, no dishwasher tabs etc. The bare necessities, if that... Tiny ensuite in back bedroom (you have to turn sideways to get to shower). Needs some love and attention. ..owners please listen to your guests... Agree it's a fab location but anywhere in Trastervere is a great location...

Little gem!

Overall the experience was very nice! Fantastic neighb ok rhood!! It could have been a little cleaner for my taste, the floors, bath and shower areas, but it was still a wonderful place to stay. They have a sofa that pulls out into a bed, but it wouldn't close all of the way ( It was that way when we arrived) and I cut my leg on it so this is something they may want to consider fixing. We tried taking out the garbage befire checking out but we were told we had to go 8 blocks to dispose of it. Julie USA

Spectacular location

We really loved our stay here. Rafaele was very helpful on arrival and the house was as described, easy to walk everywhere with great local bars and restaurants. We would agree with two previous comments: the garden furniture is too dirty to use and the hot water in the showers was erratic (but it was such hot weather that this wasn’t a problem for us).

Great location, unique property

The property is very cool and in the heart of Trastevere. Olga met us and gave us great info and was very responsive. I loved the private courtyard, complete with an orange tree! The lawn furniture wasn't well maintained though, stained with mildew, so we covered the cushions with garbage bags. The smaller bathroom wasn't clean either- there was mold in the shower, and the bathmat came up black when I put in on the tile file. Considering there is an additional cleaning fee for this property, this was particularly unacceptable. The hot water was unreliable. There is an on-demand tank, which had to be reset every time you wanted a hot shower. There is a pull out sofa in the living room, which we used for our party of 5. The restaurant next door is very noisy, with people literally right out the front door, so the person sleeping on the couch had a hard time. We requested a late checkout, which was allowed for an extra 30 euros. We clearly communicated our departure time, but a man let himself into the apartment twice while we were still there, asking if we had left yet! It's a good location in a fun area, but the apartment could use some improvements.
