This is a wonderful apartment in a great location. The Trastevere neighborhood is the place if you're looking to experience the normal Roman life. Lots of great restaurants nearby, including the Michelin-starred Glass Hosteria (5 minutes walk). And the best gelato in the Trastevere is a two-minute walk (take a left when you exit the apartment, and walk until to see Bar Laterria Gelateria).

The one down-side to the location is that it's a 30 minute walk to the Ancient Rome sites (e.g. Colosseum). We just took the bus during the day, when it's hot, and walked at night.

The apartment itself is also great. The interior is beautiful and sturdy, all hand-made by the gracious host Domenico, and the bathroom has a great shower (with optional mood lightning and jazz music) bursting forth consistent hot water.

Final tip: if you need a ride to the airport, ask Domenico. He got us a driver (who showed up on time) for much less than a taxi.
