I was looking for a place specifically in Trastevere because the restaurants in this area tend to be non-tourist type. During prior visits I’ve stayed near the Pantheon or city center, however, If you want more of a local feel, Trastevere is the place to stay.
Although this airbnb only had 1 review, I was only staying 1 night so I didn’t expect or need much. I ended up really liking this place. Margherita was kind enough to let us check-in early and leave our luggage on check-out day until 3pm.
You can tell she really cares about her place with all the small touches and it didn’t feel like one of those bnb corporations. There were nespresso capsules, cookies/biscuits, 2 big bottles of water (which I always appreciate when just arriving to a bnb!) washer, hair-dryer, Netflix, extra blankets and pillows. She was very responsive and recommended a few restaurants.
Apartment is first level, which I appreciated for all the shopping I did nearby and the trips of dropping off bags.
Taxis are available right up the street. Walking to the Vatican was about a 20 min walk.
There’s this gastronomia place right next door that seems like this little bodega or coffee bar then you walk in and it’s a big restaurant. However, my favorite nearby was La vita è’ n’osteria.
