The area was great for filing the real Roman neighborhood life. It has a small snack bar for locals within 3 minutes from the apartment, which was very nice. It is very convenient to get their by the local train from the airport for 8 euro only - station Trastevere. The in city transport is excellent in order to get to the Colosseum or to the Center Storico.
We loved the getting around by feet as well, but it quite a work from the touristic center of Trastevere - around 15 -20 minutes.
We will be happy to use Claudia's apartment again , because it is an excellent value for money.
