Air conditioning could be better

Location

Stayed in July 2025

Lack of adequate air conditioning, it was 99-100 degrees when we were there and there was little relief when returning to the apartment. The units there do little to cool the place down unless you’re standing in front of it. And you can’t have fans running at the same time. Made it very uncomfortable and hard to sleep with that heat. There are also quite a lot of stairs to the apartment which may be difficult for some people especially bringing up Luggage. Just should be aware.

Beautiful, historic apartment in a cute neighborhood, close to all the big sightseeing areas. Host was very attentive and easy to reach

Stayed in July 2025

Only 3 coffee mugs for 4 people. My husband was disturbed by the night noise. The rest of us was not affected. Walter helped me to find my fabric store !!!

The location was walking distance from all the important sites

Stayed in May 2025

Unexpectedly thin windows! For a quiet neighborhood we could hear the people in the café downstairs and next door chatting late. The price for the linens was very high (30€ for 2 towels and 1 hand towel). Bare minimum on amenities. You may better off in a hotel. An FYI: Pay attention to Italy’s “green” regulations and heat if the heat is gas powered. They only let you run the heat for 7-8 hrs a day. Walter’s place was cold at first. We had been in Italy for 3 weeks and never had a restriction until this place. The weather was oldly cold and those stone walls hold the cold

We loved the central location near stores and restaurants. Beds were comfortable.

Walter is an exceptional host and went above and beyond. The apartment is located in one of the most beautiful areas of Rome and the same can be said for the apartment, absolutely 10/10 !!! I would highly recommend that for anyone visiting Rome, to book and stay in Walters place.

Lovely ancient apartment in great area.

Early morning garbage collection. Very noisy.

The apartment was rustic and very comfortable. The location was excellent. Lots of good restaurants in the neighborhood. Very centrally located (within 30 minutes of walking) to all of the top sites to visit in Rome. Our host, Walter, was great. Easy to work with and made our stay exceptional. Next trip to Rome we will book our trip around the availability of this apartment!

There was absolutely nothing we disliked.

Everything was great. A couple of small things to note for Walter. Shower head needs attention. It was only possible to use as a hand-held shower. The bidet needs some attention. The water is spraying out when tap is turned. It would be nice to have an extra guest hand towel for general use in the bathroom.

Walter did everything he could to make our stay comfortable - if we didn’t like anything- this was outside of Walter’s power - eg there are two bars nearby which are open late and a bit noisy but again we could have check this out prior to our reservation!

Beautiful presentation Clear communication of space and facilities A very kind host who met us and was very helpful when our train was delayed by 3 hours and affected our check in. Great location for unique experience- lively and close to amenities and interesting spaces like the Sunday market

There was no internet on the WiFi network. We had mobile connection from our phones, so we survived, but the reception wasn't great for some reason.

There was a pipe leak in the building while we were there, so we were contacted multiple times about when we'd be out of the rental so they could access it for repairs. Of course these emergencies happen and are unavoidable, but we would have appreciated a partial rental fee refund since we were asked to check out a couple of hours early if possible. We were offered breakfast, but we had very heavy packs with us that were hard to lug around so we just headed to the train station.

Lots of character and charm in this spacious rental. The brick was beautiful and everything worked well. The beds were comfortable as well. The kitchen is fairly small, but functional. It did not take long to walk to many of the attractions in Rome, so it was a convenient location. If you're taking the bus, there are stops close by.

Overall a great place to stay and can’t find too many negatives.

Great location, and a cosy feel, great place to stay, definitely stay here again.

Stayed in September 2024

Really can't complain it is a second floor walk up a true Roman experience.

Great restored apartment is fantastic area The restaurant across the treet is fantastic. Make reservations.

Walter was a very accommodating host and allowed us to check in early at no extra charge due to the earlier guest leaving a little earlier than expected. The house is located in a perfect sport for exploring all that Rome has to offer. There are many great local restaurants in the Trastevere area and the river nearby with lots of bars, restaurants and carnival games scattered along. The beds in the apartment were comfortable and the space in the house was very nice and with 'old style fashion'. I would recommend Walters house to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Rome.

Loads of character and right in the heart of Trastevere. A very short walk has you across the Tiber River and in the heart of Rome. Trastevere was a reprieve from the bustle across the river, but still had restaurants at every turn. The host was very responsive.

Location and organisation.

Stayed in May 2024

We loved the location, it was right in the middle of a vibrant part of time with loads of restaurants. It was such a treat to stay in such an old building, which has been renovated to be comfortable whilst still maintaining the character and history.

One thing I think the owner could improve on is the shower. The space itself is fine and decoration lovely. But, 1) the water runs from hot to cold and back again within minutes, whether you are the first to shower or the last, making it impossible to take a relaxed shower. I appreciate the building, pipes and plumbing are old, but maybe an investment could be made to benefit the guests. 2) Upon arrival, when we got the tour of the place, I noticed the shower head was on the shower floor, but I thought nothing of it. Turned out the holder was broken, so you had to hold the shower head in your hand to be able to use it. Combined with the water not holding a steady temperature, this was not ideal. And quite an easy thing to fix, I think. Lastly, charging 90 euros for common bed linnen (3 beds) feels like profiteering, I don't know how else to describe it.

Location is sincerely great. You're in the heart of Trastevere with great food and drinks around the corner. It's a lovely apartment, it is obvious the owner cares a great deal about the apartment, it really shows.

Location is excellent walking distance to the heart of Trastevere . Plenty of beautiful eating choices for all tastes on your doorstep . Tram ,metro,and taxis again all within 5 min . Also if you did want to cook the apartment has all the equipment you need and the cleaning equipment. Walter was an excellent host meeting us on arrival ,arranging taxis to and from the airport. Kept in touch from booking to departure

It's a bit noisy at night. Nothing wrong with that but you need to be prepared. Cooking facilities are a bit limited, but the cafes around mean it's not much of a bother. Shower could be better. That aside, it's great.

Fabulous apartment in a lovely location. So many cafes and restaurants but away from the hustle and bustle on the other side of the river.

Stayed in October 2023

Some of the appliances didn't work. Nothing to be a show-stopper, but perhaps needs a little more attention to small details. The description shows "Towels and bed linen are provided in the apartment." - but you need to search the fine print to see there's a 30EU charge for each set. This is the first time it's happened for me, so it came as a surprise. There's also a tourist tax which may not be obvious to those travelling to Italy for the first time. Both of these need to be paid in cash when you arrive. It's not the cost, but I think these things should be listed along with the price displayed and be very clear before paying for your stay. I don't like hidden costs.

Location - easy to get to best attractions. 10-15 min walk to hop-on/off tour busses. Beautiful classical old accommodation with great character The host was very nice and is easily contactable via whats app - he will be flexible where possible and gave us some good information regarding local amenities.

Stayed in September 2023

The location was perfect as everything we wanted to see was in walking distance. There were restaurants close by and also a supermarket. We loved the area. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Walter was excellent with communication and met us at the door when we arrived. We were four adults and two children. We would definitely return.

Stayed in September 2023

The apartment didn't come with linen and had to pay an extra 60 euro

Walter is a great host. Excellent communication and helpful. The bar underneath was an added bonus
