Our family of four adults (two parents and two college age kids) stayed here for 3 nights the first week of June. Great communication, convenient airport pick up, and Sarah welcomed us with all the info we needed for our stay.
The location is perfect, if you want to make Trastevere your home base while visiting Rome! The 4 of us slept comfortably in the 3 bedroom layout. The family/living room is cozy and it was nice having a table to sit at for breakfast and computer work. We loved opening the windows to lean out and watch the passers by and diners in the alleys below us!
The owners have decorated the apartment with gorgeous antique furniture, lovely artwork, and finds from what seem like many world travels. It’s not your average apartment rental, with second hand finds or big box store furnishings!
As others reviewers have noted, the back of the apartment faces two very active streets, full of restaurants, bars and shops—which makes it really convenient to grab a meal or enjoy local shopping. But the same streets fill with locals and tourists in the evening hours and the festivities get pretty loud! We’re night owls and knew to expect this, so it wasn’t a problem. Every night, the party seemed to die down about 12:15am.
We had some issues with water pressure and the temps switching quickly from hot to cold, while showering. Also, it would have been helpful to have paper towels and tissues available. We ended up using toilet paper for all our paper needs.
Overall, we had a very positive stay at the Wanderlust House and would recommend it to family and friends visiting Rome.
