We had a too short but wonderful stay at Emanuele’s apartment in Trastevere. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to meet Emanuele in person, but Claudia met us right on time at the door - she’s super nice, friendly, upbeat, and very helpful. She spent a bit of time with us, showing us lots of nearby restaurants on a map of Rome. We took her advice and had our first dinner at ‘ai spaghateri,’ which was authentic and excellent! Do try that place yourself. The apartment is really quaint, small but very homey. The bed was also very comfy. But an excellent bonus about staying there was the location. Right in the middle of a fun and vibrant neighbourhood; not touristy at all, with endless choices of good restaurants and bars. We walked to the Vatican in about 15-20 mins. Highly recommended.
