If you are looking for a more genuine experience in Rome, this is it. Located in Trestevere, the apartment is about a 30 to 45-minute walk to the major attractions (centro storico, Vaticano). Very close to many great restaurants and shops. This side of the river has a much better local vibe and is much quieter (a relative term in Italy) than being right downtown. The apartment was clean, comfortable, very close to public transport, and taxis, and has everything you need for a great vacation. We spent many late nights walking and dining in the area and always felt safe and welcomed. check-in was easy and the staff was very attentive.
