You can feel like a local staying in this cute and convenient apartment. Andrea was very responsive to any questions. The washing machine was most welcome since we were traveling for a few weeks, and hanging the wash out the window on the line was fun and efficient as well. Around every corner are terrific places to eat, most with outside seating so you can enjoy the smell of jasmine (we were there in May) and watch the passing scene. Our favorite was Il Tarullo just around the corner with Francesco, a wonderful waiter. Getting back across the river to the big tourist sites is easy by bus or tram, or the taxis which arrive quickly after a phone call. After a day among the crowds at the Coliseum or the Vatican, we were happy to be back in Trastavere.
