Ripa - Elegant apartment in Trastevere

Perfect apartment for our stay in Rome. We were able to utilize the private transfer that was offered by our host from the airport, which was so helpful as we are new to international travel and were a bit overwhelmed. The check in process was easy as Giulia met us at the door and made sure we were good to go. The apartment had everything we needed for a great stay - hot shower, comfortable bed, small kitchen, and the best part was the incredible location. We could walk to all the major attractions in the city, but were fortunate enough to stay somewhere very special. Trastevere is where all the guides recommend for the most authentic Roman cuisine. At night the street came alive with indoor and outdoor dinning, shops, gelato etc. and was literally bustling with locals and tourists alike. We had delicious food every night, and would return from other parts of the city to make sure we spent our evenings in Trastevere. Anytime we spoke with a local about where we were staying the response was the same, "you are staying where the authentic Roman food is." Despite the merriment outside every night the apartment was completely quiet. We did not hear any street noise and slept like babies. When we return to Rome we will most definitely stay here again.

Beautiful and clean, host was responsive and provided recommendations from restaurants, to shops, and places to store our luggage.

The apartment was good for our stay. There is a/c in the bedroom which was great and made sleeping comfortable. The kitchen was nice and had many amenities to offer. The only opportunity we found was more space for towels and toiletries in the bathroom. The bed was comfortable. Overall, it was a good stay and nicely located to restaurants, markets, and transportation.

Location was nice, as long as you are willing to walk 2 miles in each direction to get to the main destinations in Rome, which we definitely always are! The reason for not getting 5 stars was the heat of the apartment. We had to keep the bedroom door closed to keep the bedroom cool for sleeping (and it still wasn't perfect); therefore, we didn't eat any of our food that we bought for breakfasts because there was no way we were sitting at the dining table in the kitchen area, and there is no living room to sit in. Unfortunately, we asked for a fan to help and one was not provided. It was hot enough and bad enough of an experience that my husband and I had a discussion on finding a hotel room and forgoing our stay, which I had also relayed to the owner after night one.
