La Gensola in Trastevere

La Gensola has the perfect location for walking to EVERY area of interest in Rome. This is our fifth trip to Rome and this little 2 bedroom apt suited our needs perfectly. (Two couples). Two bedrooms, two baths with an ingenious sliding wall to separate the larger bedroom from the kitchen area (which was well equipped). The small couch was somewhat "tired" in appearance and the four kitchen chairs VERY hard, but these are small things. The owner graciously and immediately arranged to let us in at 10 am when we arrived unexpectedly early. (You do have to call to arrange getting the keys etc) which we hugely appreciated. Highly recommended if you like the convenience of kitchen facilities and the ability to explore by foot and yet be in the centre of the Trastevere "buzz". It's not fancy, but the showers were strong and always hot, the wifi excellent, the fridge and gas burners useful, the beds very comfortable (second bedroom has 2 singles) and we slept well even given the ground floor location and proximity to street/piazza noise. Very responsive, respectful and amenable owner and staff. Would return in a heartbeat! Thanks Luisa, Lorenzo and our charming maid whose name we didn't get.

Our stay at La Gensola in Trastavere was perfect. We were here with a friend (one couple and one adult) and the setup of the apartment was perfect. While the sitting area isn't huge (sofa in the kitchen and dining chairs around the table) we appreciated the extra room in the large bedrooms and two bathrooms. We were so comfortable in the apartment and had a great time. The location is also amazing.

This apartment was great. Located in Travestere which is the funkiest suburb in Rome, it was close to most of the major sites and surrounded by lots of restaurants (Papa Re's was the best and located just around the corner). The apartment was clean and the bed was comfortable. The hosts are also very accommodating and booked us a transfer back to the airport last minute. I would recommend La Gensola in Travestere to anyone.

Great location, very central tram just outside

We really liked this place. Newly remodeled and in a really cool neighborhood. The seafood place literally 20 steps from the front door was really good. It's a great location in that the major sites are walkable. The only slight criticism I have is that there is no front desk as it's an apartment. We didn't receive an email regarding our arrival time until we were already in transit. It worked out as the property manager happened to be there when we arrived but an email a couple days earlier would have been a good idea. Just take the H bus from Grand Termini and get off when the bus crosses the river. Make sure to pick up the bus on the other side of the street for the return trip.
