If one chooses Trastevere as the neighborhood of choice while in Rome, then look no further than this apartment. Not only was it clean, cool (in the summer heat), and very comfortable, we were also greeted with a gracious welcome - information, wine, etc.
I would give it five stars were it not for the humming street life below, which is both a pro and a con. The building itself is old and dirty, but once inside the apartment that all disappears. In the mornings, the streets are strewn with debris from the previous night's party scene, but all is cleaned by 9 a.m. There is noise, but only a minor annoyance - and fun to look down on the crowds. Excellent restaurants abound. The sights of Rome, however, are over the river and although not far, not exceptionally close either.
We enjoyed our visit to Rome and our stay in this lovely apartment - the most comfortable of all our VRBO accommodations throughout Italy.
