Marzia is a fantastic host who goes above and beyond in every way! She arranged for us to hire a driver for our trip from the airport to the loft. She put us in touch with a private tour guide who showed us the best food in Campo dei Fiori and the Jewish Ghetto, and who then next day then provided an amazing tour of the city from Villa Borghese to Palatine Hill, to Aventine Hill and the keyhole, the views from Janiculum Hill and more.
But the highlight of our days in Rome was the rooftop terrace at the penthouse loft! We woke early every morning and took espresso on the roof while watching the sunrise. We had wine and bread and cheese there some evenings watching the sunset. The views, the birds chirping, the church bells, unforgettable!
The loft also has every convenience, right in the heart of everything that is Trastevere, we went to the suggested bakery for unbelievably fresh bread, the cafe for amazing espresso, though we also used the espresso maker in the apartment some mornings. And the location is perfect. We walked everywhere - to the Vatican, to Villa Borghese, to the Spanish steps, Piazza Navona, everywhere. It is lots of walking if you do it that way but totally doable. If that is not what you prefer, then there is a taxi stand steps away at the entrance to Trastevere.
We loved our stay at Marzia's penthouse loft and will absolutely return when we come back!
