Ekaterina’s place was INCREDIBLE. Straight out of an issue of Elle Decor. Her hospitality was unprecedented in my vast European rental experience. The air conditioning was on point, AND there’s a balcony with a wonderful view of some of the “lasagna” architecture visible in The Eternal City. The neighborhood of Trastevere is the perfect confluence of local culture and city center convenience. The cost of goods and meals is markedly less expensive than other main areas, and it feels like an ancient jewel buried in the busy shopping streets that can at times make you feel like you might as well be in any other big city. If this property had an elevator, it would be too perfect and too new/restored so the four relatively small flights allow you to step back and appreciate what it takes to exist in modern times as a guest in this incredible city, in this incredible neighborhood. BOOK THIS PLACE. You will not regret it and will then count the days until you can return.
