This is not a “loft”. It is a studio apartment in the basement of a very old building. It has been very nicely appointed with comfy bed, linens, colorful rugs and an especially nice bathroom. However there remains a general “garage” like feeling to this ground floor space with windows so high that you can’t see out. There are long stretches of street in this part of Trastevere that are less travelled and not as well lit. Worse still there were homeless people sleeping in doorways nearby. Consequently, I did not like walking home late at night alone to this location and had to plan my outings accordingly. Also in the morning we found empty beer bottles outside the door. Having said all that, there are truly terrific neighborhood places to eat and it’s lovely to be near S.Ceceilia and hear the bells ring the hours. Also Illaria was an extremely pleasant and considerate host.
