We stayed at Andrea's loft for a weekend trip to Rome. The location is great--in the middle of the hip Trastevere neighborhood--but quiet nonetheless. Lots of great bars, cafes and restaurants to chose from. The loft is very cozy and was as expected from the description.
Our host booked our pick-up by car from the airport, and was also kind enough to walk us to a recommended bar with fabulous cocktails and live music, ensuring that we were full into our mini-vacation within around 1 hour from landing at the airport.
We'll be back!
