This apartment itself has everything you could need while staying in Rome - including umbrellas which we forgot to pack! Our family of four enjoyed having the space to relax after exploring the city all day. We never had an issue with any of the amenities, including the wifi. Everything worked like a charm! I'm a little confused as to another's review about the apartment being located away from the main area of Trastevere. While it is on the quieter side of the main street, which we loved, there are several restaurants, bakeries and grocery stores right there. There's a restaurant literally across the street and one at the corner. The apartment has easy access to transportation with the tram and two taxi stands right down the street, although we never used the tram or the bus. We walked everywhere - and we explored the entire city. We felt safe in this neighborhood, loved the variety of restaurants available and bars where we sat many a night and talked to the locals.

Rodolfo was easy to work with, answered all my emails in a timely fashion and met us at the apartment. It couldn't have been easier. I wouldn't hesitate to rent from Rodolfo again and would recommend him to friends and family without reservation.

This apartment came with all the features and amenities listed, including washer, dryer, dishwasher, a/c, cooking equipment, etc. Importantly the beds were very comfortable. There were pleasant touches such as a hairdryer in each bathroom, maps of Rome, tour books, and audio video equipment. It is definitely one of the best equipped rentals we have used over the years. It is an easy walk to the tram, buses and taxi stands.

We were disappointed in that the owner was not there to greet us as he was on his vacation, which he can't be begrudged at all. The only problem was that the person replacing him was not able to communicate well in English and seemed to have difficulty in Italian also. (Two in our group were fluent in Italian.) It may just have been that she just didn't have answers to some questions. I should say that Rodolfo was very easy to work with via e-mail in arranging the rental. I was sorry to not be able to meet him and profit from the advice and information I read he offers clients.

When we arrived, the a/c was not working. Since it was terribly hot, we were not happy and had a difficult sleep that night. Even though on vacation, Rodolfo was immediately responsive and had an electrician there the first thing in the morning. There was no problem after that, making it a huge relief to arrive home after exploring Rome. Each room has its own system and control.

Although the apartment is well situated for transportation, for us it was not what we most enjoy. I suspect we did not read carefully or did not ask the right questions. It is situated outside the main part of Trastevere where the restaurants, shops, activities are. It is perfect for people who want quiet and solitude. We prefer to be in the midst of activity and have the freedom to come and go as we please in that milieu. Our teenager missed that opportunity as he could not really go out and about whenever. It is important to consider what type of venue you prefer when selecting a place. If you want the escape from noise and activity, this is a perfect place.

One caveat: you need a phone or access to a phone to contact Rodolfo or his agent when you arrive as they are not on the property.

The apartment served us well. It was located just 4 stops from the city and was very affordable. It had all the mod cons and was very comfortable for me and my partner and 3 adult kids. The beds were comfy and the owner attentive to our requests. Supermarkets and restaurants close by so perfect for a 3 night stay.
