Were we to return to Rome, we wouldn't stay anywhere but Antonia's beautiful appartamento in Trastevere. It is just about as charming as Antonia herself! She welcomed us personally, walked us through the apt. and gave us detailed instructions on everything we needed to know including restaurant recommendations. We LOVED the location.....very hip, cool neighborhood with old world ambience, interesting shops, delicious pizza and sandwich eateries, cafes, bars and great restaurants. Rome is a huge city, but we were still able to walk to lots of great places. As for the apartment itself.....picture a winding, marble staircase one flight up, and then entering a very chic, inviting space decorated with sophisticated, stylish art, fashionable accessories and tasteful furniture all with a bohemian vibe. It's quite roomy with a bedroom removed from the living area (note: loved the walk-in closet and real ironing board and great iron!) and the elegant spiral wooden staircase leading up to a very comfortable loft. (Our son loved the bed!) The very tall, shuttered windows allow you to hang over the edge and watch all the action down below, but cancel out street noise once closed. Not mentioned in the description is a small, but still charming terrace where morning espressos and early eve aperitifs can be enjoyed al fresco. Also, lots and lots of linens and towels and very clean. This place was the best!! Grazie mille, Antonia!
