Positive: This is a spacious apartment and the host was responsive. The neighborhood has great restaurants and vibrant nightlife. Not as Expected: The description notes two king beds while elsewhere as doubles. We found the bedroom off the tv room with a double bed and the bedroom off the kitchen a slightly wider bed (neither are king size). My husband and I selected the bed off the kitchen and put the children in the smaller double beds. We found our mattress had a hump in the middle and depressions on either side which made us feel like we were sliding downhill all night. The wifi did not work in our bedroom (works in the other rooms) and the cell service is spotty. The washing machine cannot run without turning off the AC or it flips the main breaker and shuts off power to the apartment. The bathroom door has no lock. The shower is less than 30 inches wide so your elbows hit the walls. The drainage is poor so the shower pan fills up quickly and you stand in a couple inches of dirty water. The toilet button needs to be pumped to work and sometimes doesn't. In all, the bathroom feels like something in a youth hostel with cracked tiles and gunky caulking. Prepare for many stairs to the upper unit and lots of noise at night from the bar across the street then the garbage trucks. The instructions require that you walk 5 min with sorted trash for recycling or be charged 10 Euro which is not included in the cleaning fee.

This is a lovely apartment in Trastevere, in a neighborhood that has a very fun nighttime vibe. Our host, Ekaterina, was amazing. The entire check-in process was seamless. She provided lots of info about restaurants and points of interest. It's in a great location for restaurants, there are quite a few on the same block. Would highly recommend a stay here if you're looking for fun nighttime ambiance that's walkable.
