Thoughts on this Rome apartment?
 

It looks intriguing!

I may be doing a last-minute trip at the end of the month. Given that it's low season and a struggling economy, would it be worth it to try to negotiate an even lower price?

Sorry! That link doesn't work and can't figure out how to link to it. It's the Locanda 2 apartment on

I would check www.slowtrav.com to see if there are any reviews of this apt. Also, when you correspond with them, find out what floor it is on (unless I missed that). You may get stuck with walking up many flights of stairs. I have never known these agencies to negotiate the price but I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask. When you check out reviews, it wouldn't hurt to pay attention to the positive ones...it always makes me feel more comfortable when I know someone else has stayed there and enjoyed it.

Sandi: I checked slowtrav--and elsewhere--and didn't find a review, though the agency was on their recommended list.

Hi sera,

before I booked, I'd like to know exactly where it is - the web-site says Trastevere but where?

how long are you going for - and is it just you? I'm never sure that an apartment for one person for jsut a few days is worth all the cost of the supplies you have to get in, few of which come in one-person sizes.

when I am by myself, I like to be as central as possible, but you may have different ideas, of course.

regards, ann

I agree with Ann it depends a lot on where in Trastevere.
For apartments in the same price range I would look at realrome.com. We were very pleased with our experience with that agency

For me, if I cannot find reviews from others that have stayed, I won't. I absolutely agree with knowing the level and exact location.
