LA GENSOLA - Elegant loft on two levels - Tiberina-Trastevere island

The property is perfectly situated, central location and walkable to everything, surrounded by lovely bars, restaurants and coffee bars. Property is just the right side of quaint, combines old with modern so you get the quaint with the comfort. The host Olivia was very communicative, explicit instructions on how to find the place and how to access, extremely helpful. Ignore VRBO on the local tax, we made the mistake of listening to VRBO and didnt leave cash as requested but charged it through VRBO. Turns out this is perfectly normal and local law for Rome (sorry for the incovenience Olivia) If we are lucky enough to come back to Rome we will be looking to see if this place is available again

Ok place. Positive - great location, lots of room and amenities were adequate.. Negative - too warm! AC was either not working or was set too high. Take a mini fan! I would not call this elegantly decorated. Old furnishings, stairs squeaky/ loud. Ok property but would not stay there again

The location was great, and the interior had a lovely Roman feel—we had a really enjoyable stay. The apartment was not only clean and comfortable, but also beautifully decorated, making us feel truly immersed in the Roman atmosphere. The host was quick to respond whenever we had any questions. Trastevere is a wonderful area, and it was a place we could have enjoyed for many days. Thank you so much!

Olivia was very welcoming and responsive. The apartment was comfortable and perfectly situated.

Lovely apartment on the 3rd floor of the building. Hard wood floors, and cozy, as I would expect an Italian home to be. I feel the pictures are very accurate. First level has your living room/dining room open concept, with a small kitchen and the 1st bathroom with a deep tub. The kitchen has a 4 burner gas stove. The loft space has the double bed with a wardrobe, and then a door to the 2nd bathroom with a shower, sink, toilet and bidet. The couch downstairs has the ability to open into a double bed. Wifi was great with no issues our 2 week stay. Television in the living room. There was a blow dryer in the bathroom, dishwasher in the kitchen and clothes washing machine on the balcony. The home is one block from the Tiber river, very near Tiber island. Following the river helped our navigation greatly. Taxi stand one block, along the river to the North. One block behind the home has a wonderful cobblestone street of shops, leather good stores, convenience stores, places to eat, Gelato, etc. We slept most nights with just the windows open (mid to late October), but there is an air conditioner unit in the loft that was capable of cooling the entire space. I felt the home was very central to all the attractions we wanted to see and either walked or took a taxi to most. I would definitely recommend this home.

We really enjoyed our stay at Olivia's flat in Rome. It was located near all the sights of the city, with an easy walk to many restaurants, bars and cafes, The flat is tucked away on a charming, quiet street and equipped with everything we needed for our visit. Olivia provided specific. easy-to-follow check-in instructions, and check-out was a breeze. If you'd like an authentic Rome experience in the the city close to all the amenities, look no further than this property. Thank you Olivia, for everything!

Such a charming stay in a very nice neighborhood in Rome with unique vintage design. The perfect abode for a trip or longer stay. My family and I did a lot of site seeing while in Rome and although you have to be prepared to walk a bit from this flat to get into the busier parts it provides a nice quiet atmosphere away from touristy spots and there is lots of good food nearby. I definitely recommend this property and would stay again!!

Stayed at the property for a 3 week stay in Rome. The location was perfect, right across the street from the very busy parts of Trastevere, so coming home from the crowds was calming. Located right in the city center in the historic district, a 10 minute walk across the bridge over the Tiber to most of the must-see tourist sites. Highly recommended strolling through Trastevere and popping into any and all churches you can find, some are very baroque style and jaw-dropping. Olivia was great with communication, and staying in the location I was in, as a female traveling alone, I felt very safe.

Great location.

Olivia is very responsive and collaborative and of great help. The apartment is well furnished and very cosy. It’s close to everything in the less dense neighborhood of Trastevere. Anything you need within 10 minutes of walk if any, grocery store, restaurants, taxi station, bus line, etc It’s about 15-30 min walk to major landmarks like Piazza Navona (15 min), Coliseum (30 min), Trevi fountain (25 min), Vatican (35 min).

Olivia was very helpful and even assisted with our transpiration from the port to the home. The apartment was in an amazing location. We walked to all the major attractions. Bed was comfortable, we like it cooler when we sleep so it was a little warm for us. Overall we would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment, it is an extremely convenient home base. The location is excellent; the apartment is easy walking distance to many wonderful restaurants, a terrific outdoor food market, and many historic sites. The best part of the location is it’s tucked away on a quiet street. It always felt calm and relaxing when we came home after a busy day. The communication with Olivia was easy and timely. The self check in was quite simple; we had an early arrival and she let us leave our luggage and return after the cleaning was completed. The kitchen was a little small for two people to cook together but we knew of a couple places that made fresh tortellini and ravioli which we prepared one night with olive oil and parmigiana from a nearby store and it was terrific. The garbage management was very simple and well organized. Watering the plants was a minor gesture for the pleasure they brought. We hope this well-appointed apartment is available when we return to Rome in the future.
