La casa al Vaticano

Fantastic apartment - a truly phenomenal location!!! I was not 100% sure what to expect before our arrival, but Casa Pasquino ended up blowing away our expectations. Well furnished and very comfortable. It is located on inside of the building, so it was SUPER quiet. Water temperature and pressure were great, and the bed was comfortable (more firm than our bed at home, but surprisingly nice to sleep on). You walk out onto an amazing small street (mostly pedestrian) that immediately transports you back in time. Frigidarium, the best gelato we tasted on our entire trip, is 20 meters away :)

Trastevere is a very lively and noisy place. This apartment is right in the middle, but it is on a side street containing only one restaurant, so it is actually fairly quiet. There is also double-glazing to keep out the noise (if you don't need the fresh air at night). It was quite hot in August/September, no Air-Con, just a fan. There is no wi-fi but there is free wi-fi in all the nearby coffee-shops, bars and restaurants. There is a good bedroom and a bathroom with great shower, and a washing machine. The kitchen has 4 gas rings, a fridge, and a microwave oven. The kitchen seemed new, though we only used it to make tea ! Everything we needed was provided. A very handy base to explore this part of Rome, and less than half an hour walk from the Spanish Steps or the Colosseum. Betsy let us in to the apartment, and we just left the keys on the table 32 days later. We were very happy to be left completely alone to enjoy our visit. Highly recommended.
