Unfortunately we were unable to meet Lavinia or Filippo, but she arranged for us to be let in by a friend who showed us the apartment. Lavinia texted us a great long list of restaurants and bars around the city; She was constantly in touch, making sure everything was ok.
The apartment is as described and away from the touristy area, but only a short walk to the center of Trastevere, which is always full of life! Public transport is nearby and taxis to the center of Rome are not that expensive either.
We certainly enjoyed our stay here since we spent most of our nights enjoying Trastevere’s night life!
