Metella's apartment was the nicest place we stayed during our 10-day trip to Italy—her apartment was spotless and contemporary with good taste. The quiet, idyllic Trastevere ended up being one of our favorite neighborhoods in Rome. We were able to walk out the door and grab a cappuccino, have the best pizza of our lives at Dar Poeta, and gulp down a refreshing Aperol Spritz at Drago.

We were traveling with another couple and enjoyed the spaciousness and privacy of the apartment as well as the fact that it had a washing machine. All of the natural light made it more relaxing to come back to after a long day of walking.

Metella had excellent advice about the neighborhood as well as a great book about the Roman forum (past/present). She was also nice enough to meet us for check-in when our trip itinerary brought us to Rome hours earlier than expected. We had an amazing stay here and will definitely return for future trips to Rome!
