This is an outstanding place and Desiree is a great host. Although I never met her in person, she was in touch with me every minute. And had her friend Simone for easy access. The neighborhood is laid back, old school and non-touristy. The metro Ottaviano with connect you to everything in less than 15 min (5 min walk) and the bus 23 takes you to Trastevere. The important thing is you can come back from all that, to peace and a fabulous deck. The deck is shaded if you wish, so open your own proseco and sit back in the hot hours of the afternoon. The house is equipped with everything you will need. That deck is precious. I have stayed in a 4 star hotel in Piazza Popolo neighborhood, with a deck and I will pick Desiree’s place over it. It’s fabulous and convenient. The neighborhood has a lot of gems (Doria cafe, enoteca next door and just an amazing number of restaurants better than the city center). I highly recommend the place and Desiree as an amazing host!
