Lion Renting Trastevere

Minimalist apartment. If your accommodation is only for showering and sleeping, and you are on a budget, then this is the apartment for you. It is a 10-minute walk from the train station where you can take the train to the airport. A 2-minute walk away is a bus stop for buses that take you to all the sights, and you can get to them by foot as well because they are about 3 km away and you have the shade of trees all along the way. Communication with the host was very good.

Needs a couple of hangers or shelves in the bathroom where things can be left. Neeeds curtains for balcony doors.

Good option for an accommodation a few stops from the city center. Swift communication with the owner, who was very kind and helpful. Self check-in and check-out are very handy. The leafy view from the room and a good flowery smell in the garden/entrance are definitely a bonus.

The room was smaller than we thought from pictures. The bathroom was so tiny that there wasn't space to place our things. We couldn't open the bathroom window because it was broken (but the owner assured us that they will fix it soon).

Great place, the host is really easy going and very helpful.

At the forst view the room appears bright and freshly decorated. The location was perfect as Trastevere is vibrant and lively area of Rome, withing walkable distamce to all importants points of Rome. The room was spacious, bright and with balcony. The kitchen was equipped with kettle, fridge and microwave with a few cups, plates and cutlery so it was easy to prepare a basic breakfast and make a cup of tea or coffee before heading out to explore the city. Daniele was very responsive and really nice to deal with.

I'm always trying to see positives rather than negatives, and trying to consider all possible circumstances if things are not as expected. The broken door handle to the room was a slight inconvenience, I've made the host aware of this yet I am sure they knew, as it is impossible to not know as the handle stays in your hand when you're trying to open the door. Although, I thought it's a small issue which I can cope with, going further it was not so much fun though. The towels appeared to be washed but they were not fresh and clean. They seemed to be put on rinse and spin only, with no proper wash and detergent used, just smelled very much not fresh. Duvet on top of the bedsheet- turning it with the dark side on the top doesn't make it clean, honestly! It smelled and was full of stains on the other side. As a frequent traveller and former host of over 5 years, I know that fresh and clean sheets are a basic and a must in hospitality. The bathroom - shower head got its best time gone long ago, the water is splashing all over to the sides, just not where it supposed to. Bedside lamp shade being turned with its stains towards the wall is still dirty, just the stains are not in the view at first. The floor is very much worn with single panels coming completely off, you just need to be careful to not to trip over it. Inside the drawers there was some rubbish left and plenty of dust, as if no-one ever looked into it once previous guests checked out. Overall, of I'll be visiting Rome again, I will look for another accommodation.
