This was the best decision I made on my holiday to Rome. Isabella is a warm and approachable host. She made me a typical Italian breakfast of fresh fruit ( figs! blueberries she picked!) , yoghurt, cereal, panettone etc plus excellent espresso. She is discreet and will give you privacy but when you approach her she is very happy to chat. Her apartment is a very well kept block and really felt like a true Roman there. The room itself has big windows to open on the street and had all the amenities advertised plus some unexpected extras... Her apartment is in a quiet neighborhood that is walking distance from Trastaverre. What I loved the most about the area was that there is a very well stocked local food market ( Piazza S. Giovanni di Dio) that is right next to where the nr 8 Tram stops. It is 5 minutes walk to the apartment from the market (buy fresh bread, slices of prosciutto and fruit to make a picnic - much more delicious and cheaper than restaurants) and tram stop (it's on the Nr 8 tram route that takes you to Trastaverre) , very convenient. There is also a supermarket across the road and a typical beer shop and cake shop, all frequented by Roman's, not tourists. Ask Isabella about the local osteria and pizzeria. The food is better and cheaper than you will find in the crowded restaurants around Trastaverre or Campo fiori plus you will not see other tourists but locals, which I really enjoyed. The neighborhood is full of trees and it's right next to a big park. If you walk for 30 minutes all along the park's wall you will walk straight into Trastaverre. I walked alone even late at night, felt safe. My top tip for visiting Rome on a budget is avoid eating at any of the places where you sit outside on a touristy area. Rather buy pizza slices and a beer (5€ for both) in any of the places in Trastaverre for and sit somewhere (on the steps of the church on Piazza Della Scala is perfect and the pizza shop is 1 minute down via scala from the square) and watch the people and enjoy the vibe for a fraction of the price. Thank you Isabella for a wonderful time!
