Sara's home in Trastevere

We really enjoyed our stay at Sara's home. The apartment is very large. We are a family of 4 and this 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment was very comfortable. The neighborhood is charming and the balcony off the bedrooms has lovely views and sunny out there in the afternoons. The coffee shop at street level is perfect for morning cappuccino and pastries. The gated entry felt secure. This is in the southern most section of Trastavere so it is quite far from the main attractions. You must either walk a lot or figure out the tram and bus schedules (or Uber if you don't mind the cost). More pillows would have been nice and more bath towels and linens generally were needed. We could never figure out how to get the towels warmers working (if that's what they are?) so the towels were always damp. Having a clothes washer was nice and we managed to get it to work by unplugging/replugging it to get it to start. Without a dryer though you have to plan ahead to have things dry in time. Nice place and might stay again if we were wanting to explore other than the main tourist sites.

Difficulty to get public transportation from the main attractions to the apartment

Not Trastevere. NO WASHER. remove sheets at check out, if we knew the cond. of the beds NEVER stayed there! Couldn't cook the pans dirty and teflon flaking. Wanted E72 at chkout but no where in agreemt. PhotoS ment agreement

The apartment was overall very well located, close to everything and very big. There is actually two bathrooms. The balcony is very nice to see the city at night. We had problem with hot water, but the owner fixed it very quickly. Check-in was not as easy as other places, but ok. Interior of the apartment quality is sub par (very poor material quality, but ok for a vacation rental. Would rent again.

Nice location, close to all amenities.

It was pretty noisy and a bit far out from the main attractions

This apartment was a truly wonderful place to stay. The location was great for walking almost anywhere and convenient to buses and trains.The apartment was large and airy and very secure. The balconies were great for views and handy for drying clothes. The cafe on the first floor was wonderful for morning cappuccino. Would definitely stay here again.

I am puzzled about writing this review. We loved the apartment and its location. It is located in a very secure and gated complex. We were on the 4th level and the place is a corner unit. Nice views from the balcony of daily life in Rome. Especially nice are the series of places to eat on the first floor. Very friendly staff in these places. Our check-in was seamless and easy. Having two bathrooms was helpful. While we loved the apartment, with just a few steps, the owner could significantly improve the VRBO experience. My shower appeared to have had a shelf in the past based on the holes in the wall. I had to keep everything on the shower floor. In the living room, dish ware is stored in a large cabinet with a large swinging door which drags on the floor and consequently is slowly damagingly the floor. Light bulbs in the ceiling flash and need replaced. A washer is advertised but it is outside in the balcony storage shed. Not only is the shed filthy but the washer had not been cleaned in quite some time. I had to get a a bucket of soap and water and wash it in and out before we could even attempt to use it. Balcony furniture was dirty and soap piece has a large split in the wicker seat. Kitchen has sufficient supplies to cook. I would go back to this rental but the owner could spend just a little capital to make it so much better.

This 2 bedroom, 2 full bathroom apartment is very spacious! Absolutely thrilled with our stay. It's decorated lovely inside and tons of room to spread out with a very large living room with large table to eat at and large couch to sit. This is a much bigger apartment than most and what is shown in pictures. Nice for a larger family as someone could use the couch to sleep. Lovely kitchen with everything one needs for a week stay. There are 2 cute terraces- the bigger one has a storage closet where the washer is stored. The drying rack is also stored in this closet. This apartment was perfect for my spouse and I as we were close to where our daughter was living for school. It is not as close to some of the sites such as colosseum, or Vatican city. Transportation through the bus or tram apps made it very easy to get around, however. It is very close to the train station to and from the airport- only about a 10-15 minute easy walk with luggage. There is a cafe' and restaurant below for either morning pastries or evening vino! It is on a main road so there may be a possibility of some traffic noise at night. On Saturday nights there is a tiny bit of noise as they set up for a giant flea markets hosted right below on Sundays. We were too tired from our adventures to notice the traffic most nights. Our host, Sara, was responsive and respectful. We would stay here again.

Really well laid out and great location. Everything right there.
