Trastevere is a hip and happening neighbourhood, and this Airbnb is five minutes walk away from the centre of all the action. It's also about half an hour away from the Pantheon and other central attractions.

Roberto's place is small but most definitely cosy. We were met by Malu who showed us how everything worked.

The kitchen and bathroom both work but could do with some TLC.

Some people may be put off by the 48 steps up to the apartment but this means it's tucked away and quiet; very much away from the hustle and bustle of Rome. (Air-con was a boon after a hot walk from the centre of Rome.)

The pre-trip information PDF from Roberto is fact-packed and proved very useful. The apartment is also stuffed with guidebooks to Rome, in different languages.
