Mauricio and Fabio's loft near Trastevere is a nicely located gem in the heart of the Jewish ghetto. The very old buildings offer a wonderfully authentic environment to call home while you tour Rome's many historical sites. Mauricio picked us up from the airport for a small fee, which was very nice because the trek to the city center was incredibly confusing! The apartment is within walking distance of Vatican City, the Pantheon, the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, and the Spanish steps (about 15-25 minute walks). As a note, Rome's streets are not a grid like we were accustomed to in the states, so I suggest using the wifi in the apartment to map out your journey before you leave for the day.

The apartment is very close to the center of Trastavere, providing many restaurant and nightlife options. Fabio was nice enough to make a reservation one night for us since we didn't have an international phone. He also scheduled a taxi to pick us up from the apartment on our last day, which saved the hassle of trying to find one in the morning.

The apartment itself has a nice layout, especially for just two people. The bed is slightly firm but very comfortable after long days of walking. There was some juice and iced tea in the refrigerator for us, as well as an espresso machine. All in all, the apartment was fully equipped with everything we needed during our 2 night stay.
