Laura's place was fantastic. It's very close to many restaurants and bars in the Trastevere, but it was also very quick and easy to get the historical center of Rome. Laura met us at the apartment when we checked-in to give us a tour and answer any questions, and even called us an early morning taxi to go to the airport (and messaged me early Saturday morning with the driver's name!). Highly recommend staying at Laura's apartment if you're looking to be near, but not in, the city center.
