An amazing central location in Trastevere, just steps from Piazza Trilussa and Ponte Sisto (cross this bridge and you’re just steps from the market at Campo dei Fiori), as well as more restaurants and pubs than 2 people can sample in one week. Only a couple of minutes walking, and there’s a tram or a bus, both of which will connect you to the Metro. Just a 10-15 minute walk from the old Jewish Quarter in one direction and a 15-20 minute walk to the Vatican and Piazza Del Popolo in the other direction. Gaia is a wonderful hostess, who gave us many fabulous local suggestions for restaurants, as well. Additionally, while this lovely flat is in the center of the action in Trastevere, once you settle in for the night, you would never know it — it faces into a quiet courtyard and the only noise we ever heard was of the birds chirping overhead.
