Sara is great. She met us and gave us a great tour of the lovely apartment. Her communication was wonderful and fast and very informative. She gave us great recommendations for places to eat, but make a reservation ahead of time as we did not and never got in to eat at those places. :(
The apartment is big. It feels almost bigger than the photos. With two balconies, large living & dining area, two bedrooms with comfortable beds and pillows, and great working Air Conditioners it was PERFECT. We felt happy to return after each day of exploring Rome because it feels like home. For us traveling with our two children the large size was great as they had their own room (instead of a sofabed like so many other places we looked at.)
We were looking for a quiet apartment away from the hustle and bustle, and Sara's place nailed it!! Only a 10-15 minute walk from the Trastevere Stazione (that's with kids and luggage.) What's even better is that it was a 5 minute stroll with said kids to get to the Tram station with a Tabac right on the way. (Remember to get your transport tickets from the Tabac before 5pm b/c they'll be closed soon after that.) the Tram took us right to Piazza Venezia, and it's a much easier intro to public transport in Rome than the buses. We awoke on Sunday morning to the sounds of the fantastic and HUGE flea market on the street below. if you forgot to bring anything on your trip you can buy it there, and more.
Quick access to the path along the river was great for morning or evening (when the many bars and restaurants and celebrations happen) strolls.
I could go on and on about all the great things about this apartment. I think you can see by my enthusiasm that we really loved this place, and we will be back to stay again.
We give it 10 stars instead of 5.
