the House of Leòn in Trastevere

We LOVED this place!!! We’ve heard that Trastevere was the best place to stay in Rome. And it was true, this apartment was just walking distance from bridge sisto very close to the city center and also right on the next street it is full of restaurants and bars and the vibe is soooo coool! And the good thing was that eventhough it is close to all this restaurants at night we didn’t hear a thing. The place is better than in the pictures, beautiful and it has all you need. Also de communication with the host was great! We will definetly return.

Nice and clean

Apartment is very dark as bedroom and bathroom are in the basement and there are no windows, air isn’t fresh and it’s damp inside. There’s a bar through the wall and you can hear loud music and people talking every night till 2-3am. Location is good.

This property is very close to everything that we wanted to see and do. Beautiful area. The property itself was clean but very damp. The couch is in poor condition- stained and has as a burn hole. The bedspread was also stained.

The space had a musty/moldy smell.

The host was aware of a prior brake, damaged door and unsecure nor functioning door locks for security. Additional safety concerns include the neighbouring pizza establishment being full aware of joe to enter the apartment. Further the host did not communicate the lack of security and did not provide information on the lack of security information to give us notice to book alternative accommodations. Additional at the time the family left the apartment due to the security risk when the host confirmed that the situation would not be remediate during my family’s stay, an immediate departure was required. The host said the rental fee would be returned but that has not need due after two weeks of waiting. This has meant that I have to left this review.

Really nice area and cute apartment. Helpful hostess that helped with plumbing problems.

The place was fun and decorated nicely. Location: great. But the musty/moldy/severely stale air, particularly in the bedroom was absolutely horrible. There is one tiny window upstairs in the kitchen area, and that's IT. NO ventilation / windows downstairs whatsoever! It's obvious the owner realizes this because there is a good size air purifier downstairs and lots of odor-absorbing beads-in-jars strategically placed. (none of those worked btw) Also, communication with her was pretty bad from the get-go. The street is tricky to find and the number 51 of the address is not placed outside the property, (in other words it's blank) leaving us to guess the exact property location simply by the lockbox on the handle of the door. Never going there again. 2 nights of breathing foul air.

My partner and I stayed here for 3 nights whilst visiting Rome. The location is ideal and you can walk everywhere from the apartment. We walked to the coliseum, the Trevi Fountain and all the other main historical landmarks in rome. Checkin was easy too using a lockbox. However, the apartment itself is damp, this isn’t helped by the bathroom inside the bedroom which makes the room even damper. There was also a dehumidifier on in the room, however this was not working. Everything seemed a bit dam, including the bedding. No windows downstairs as well as the bedroom is in the basement. Overall, good if you’re not planning on being in the apartment long and are in Rome to sightsee!

Location was great! There is a bar Nextdoor that can create some noise but it didn’t bother us much. When you walk out the door you’re right into the night life but there isn’t much foot traffic outside the door so that also helped with noise. It was the perfect size for the two of us and being that the bedroom is underground it helped keep it very cool in addition to the air conditioners. The host was very pleasant and our stay was so easy! Would recommend!

Everything was clean, the bed was comfy, and overall very nice. Great location has lots of restaurants right around the corner.

The location was absolutely amazing. The place definitely had its problems though, the stove wouldn’t heat up enough and therefore we couldn’t cook meals. The whole place was VERY damp nothing was dry in there and it had a musty smell. We weren’t in the place all that much other than to sleep so it worked but we would have enjoyed being able to cook. The owner was helpful and nice. The place just needs a refresh.

Great host and location!

I will say that it is loud every evening from the restaurants and bars. Everything echoes. Bring ear plugs The sofa smelled like mold and could not be used. The bed is two cots with a mattress surrounded by a broken bedframe. It was lumpy and smelled of smoke, though it is a smoke free apartment. But the neighborhood is lovely and it is central to everything. I always felt safe and welcome.
