If you're going to Rome to see the sites, you must stay in Trastevere AND, if you're going to stay in Trastevere, you MUST stay at Gimme Shelter with Maurizio and Fabio. Trastevere is walking distance to most of the important landmarks in Rome, just the other side of the Tiber River. It's old and worn and charming and colorful. We LOVED it. And Gimme Shelter is the perfect apartment. It is very tastefully decorated with much attention to detail. Maurizio and Fabio are terrific hosts. Truly you could not do better! I cried when we had to leave as it truly had become home after just five short days!
