Our ten day stay in Trastevere could not have been more ideal. There was a farmers market at the end of the street on the plaza every day. Via Natale del Grande and neighboring streets were filled with cafes, coffee shops, charcuteries and bakeries. It was extremely convenient to have a grocery store only two doors down from the flat and the taxi stand and trolley were only two blocks away. A bank and ATM were equally close.
We were able to easily walk to most of the historical sites but taxis were very reasonable to most locations as well.
The hosts were helpful and responsive in making the trip easy. I took advantage of their recommended driver from the airport. He was so considerate he took me to a breathtakingly beautiful view site overlooking the city and pulled to the side saying “Welcome to Rome”. He parked and encouraged me to take photos of my first sight of Rome. Sergio was a delightful host meeting me at the flat, walking me through how many things worked and answering any questions. Both the hosts and Sergio were very responsive to any questions that came up during our visit.
We only regretted not having one more week to spend in this perfect location.
