First let me say that Emanuela is the consummate host! Friendly, communicative, her space has everything you need for a 5-day stay. Anything we thought “hey, I wonder if they have this or that,” you could bet it was there. We were greeted with a dessert from the famous bakery across the piazza. It was delicious! The neighborhood is great and close to so many treasures! We loved it. She was so kind and giving. This was my first time to Italy and of course we came in June, so maybe this is the norm, but it was HOT. The AC did have trouble keeping up. She does have several fans for you to use however. If you have traveled in Italian cities; we visited Florence, Bologna, and Rome this trip, you’ll know you get the occasional whiff of sewer gas. It’s hot and the infrastructure is old, so it makes sense. The bathroom and the area around the front door sort of generally had that smell. We really loved staying at Emauela’s and I believe she has a wonderful place. I’m only addressing it because if you are sensitive to smell, it might be untenable. I have not read in any of the other reviews anything about a smell, so maybe this was a one-off that can be addressed or only happens in the heat. I don’t know. But we otherwise really loved Piazza Costaguti 29!

What a wonderful spot! The apartment was cozy and perfectly located to get almost anywhere in Rome on foot. We loved waking up to the busy sounds of the bakery and coffee shop downstairs each morning - easy to grab breakfast and caffeine within steps of the front door. The neighborhood was bustling and lively, but not overly congested. There were pastries for us when we arrived, and drinks in the fridge, and Emanuela was responsive and easy to communicate with. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back!

We had a great stay at this centrally located cozy place. We enjoyed our morning coffees in the living room while witnessing the local shops and restaurants start to bustle down below. Our host Emmanuela was very hospitable and gave us great recommendations and suggestions via WhatsApp. We literally walked everywhere from this place and the lively Trastevere neighborhood right over the bridge. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a great authentic roman experience.

Great spot, excellent location, great restaurants!
