If you are looking for a small village inside the big city , this is the location you want. It has the intimate quest feeling of a medieval village and is in close proximity to all the major spots in Rome. Trastevere is a charming artsy neighborhood with shop, restaurants and pubes off the beaten path where you can enjoy the flavor of the location culture away form the tourists traps. Our condo was very nice, and begin on the third floor with no elevator improved the firmness of my legs a great deal. I highly reccomemde it.
