Laura's place was in a great location. We were not able to meet her for check in, but her friend Luna was very kind and gave us a lot of great suggestions of places to go. We really enjoyed the young and hip crowd that filled the Trastevere streets at night. As others have mentioned, it is a bit loud late at night, but we never had a problem sleeping after a long day of exploring. Pimm's has good food and we often ended our nights there with a spritz. We also enjoyed the pizza next door at La Boccaccia, and Donkey Punch has wonderful sandwiches as well as a very friendly and cool owner. We were able to walk to everything we wanted to see. Some of the sights further away were a 35-45 minute walk, but we liked being able to see more of Rome walking rather than on a bus. If you're looking for a place in Rome that has more of a local neighborhood feel to it, you should definitely stay in Trastevere!
