So much has already been said about the most gracious and thoughtful, organized and conscientious Alessandro and his incredibly spacious 1br loft style apartment in the absolute center of Trastevere action... but, for my fiance and me, the Vicoloft was all about style and comfort. Like Basquiat, Bukowski, and a big enough living space for some morning yoga poses before hitting the streets of Roma? He’s got it. Want great local restaurant recommendations from the simplest to fine dining? Check. Comfy and spacious bedroom, with great mattress and a giant wardrobe for your clothes? It’s here! We’ve stayed in Trastevere 4 times in 3 years, and had terrific experiences in each place for different reasons. This time was a romantic holiday for us, without our 12 year old daughter... and unbeknownst to me, we’d be getting engaged while staying at Alessandro’s! We couldn’t have had more fun, or been more satisfied with his kindness and thoughtful touches like water and a small bottle of Prosecco to greet us.
The ONLY negative about his exact location, which reflects to me nothing on the loft itself, is that it’s so in the center of wild nightlife that it can be hard to sleep. He has great windows that block 80% of the revelry, but a pair of earplugs may help, too. Either way, a knockout experience that we’ll remember forever.
