Federica and Franco communicated freely with us prior to our visit and assured us that they would be available to help us get to all the places we wanted to go. Their expert advice and direct assistance ensured that our travels from the train station and to the airport were trouble-free. The place is spacious and lovely. We enjoyed walking to the nearby outdoor market and then cooking food in the kitchen. We played some of cds provided while relaxing, writing and cooking. The Trastavere neighborhood is so charming and captivating! There is a trattoria or ristorante every 60-90 feet. We had just sat down for dinner outside a few “blocks” from the flat when two musicians showed up and began serenading the diners with famous traditional Italian melodies. We were absolutely delighted and will never forget the experience!
