We cannot say enough glowing things about Maurizio’s fantastic apartment in the quietest part of Trastevere, our favorite area of Rome to stay. This place is magical because it is sooo quiet, yet minutes to all the livelier spots.
We’ve been to Rome five times in 7 years, always staying in this area, and Maurizio’s place is by far our favorite. We stayed for 6 nights and had a wonderful time. An incredibly light-filled 2-bedroom apartment with many windows and a darling terrace with beautiful street views off one of the bedrooms.
The place is on the 4th floor of the building, and there is a small lift for your bags. We loved burning our buns each day multiple times a day going up and down, but for others, you may prefer the lift.
Each bedroom is decorated with at least one stunning antique piece of furniture, as is the living/dining room. Those, combined with modern art, sparkling hardwood floors, and a large couch, made the space feel SO good.
The kitchen is small, not designed for making big meals, but it is sleek, modern, and has all the basics. We loved several of the local restaurants in this part of Trastevere, and there are great small markets all within 2-3 blocks walk. Step out of the apartment and grab your morning espresso at Bar Glorioso, or enjoy a mid afternoon cocktail. Then also right outside are the stairs toward beautiful Gianiccolo Hill, which offers amazing views across the Tibur to the rest of Rome.
Maurizio met us promptly for our tour, helped arrange pre-flight covid tests, and booked us a taxi to the airport for an early morning departure. He was available in minutes via airbnb messaging whenever we had a question. Truly first rate service, and a five star apartment. We hope to return again for an even longer stay.
Grazie per tutti, Maurizio!
